The clothes were washed in a ringer washing machine and run through the ringer and then placed in a real basket - not a plastic one and taken out to the clothes line outside - where we shook out each piece and hung them with wooden clothes pins on the line in the sun to dry. They would smell so good and would be warm when we took them down after they were dry. They smelled like sunshine somehow. I miss doing that -even though it takes time and energy. I think that I need more simple things in my life.

Laundry
Today - I was doing laundry and was taking my blue jeans out of the dryer to put on the drying rack - you know so they won't shrink so tight that you cannot zip them the first time that you put them on after drying them, and I started to think about how we used to dry clothes when I was a child.

what about the bugs that could get on your clothes when they are hanging outside drying? You could be walking around with an earthworm crawling up your back!
Only you my bug phobic daughter would think of this. What did I do to you?
Maybe we can find a cure.
