Spring!


Today is one of my favorite days of the year. The sun is shining and there is a nice breeze. My husband put my clothesline up and I hung all my whites on the line. The sun will dry them and bleach them to a nice crisp white, all naturally and for free! It also helps to preserve our clothing since electric and gas dryers can be rough on fabric.

Unfortunately, I am not a person who is good at sitting and relaxing. I’m working on this, but until I get better at it, hanging clothes out to dry is a good medium. I find it so peaceful to be out in the sun with the breeze in my face, just listening to the birds and the sound of my clothes flapping in the wind. (Usually the kids stay away for fear will ask them to help!) I can enjoy being outside. I can think. I can pray. All while getting my work done at the same time. I’m saving my family money and saving the environment. Ah, spring is here!
