Why I Love Hanging Our Laundry On The Line
It’s a lousy chore made beautiful by sunshine and fresh air.
I can’t hear any noise from inside the house while I’m at the clothesline.
If I have to fold towels and t-shirts, I’d rather be surrounded by trees and grass and the chattering of birds and the free ranging of chickens.
Whenever I hang the laundry up outside, I feel as if I have somehow redeemed a mundane task into a lovely gift.

I always loved hanging laundry and diapers out. And then we got the dog. He decided that he loved making a game of getting my laundry off the line. While it was entertaining, it made for dirty and sometimes ripped laundry. Maybe now that he is an old, more boring dog I could try again with more success.
