The Wash Line

I love hanging my laundry on the wash line. I started to do it for economical reasons, but now I do it for the pure joy. There's just something about standing out there in the sun, bare feet in the grass, baby strapped to my back, hanging laundry on the line. I feel connected to all of past womanhood. Women have been hanging their laundry for hundreds of years all across the globe, and I can have a part of that.

But I'm a freak and think it would be wonderful to get a plot of land somewhere and build a house of logs and start from nothing like in Little House, so it's really not surprising that I would enjoy hanging laundry. Plus I get some sun and a little color, which otherwise wouldn't happen :)
