Flying in the wind

Ever since I moved into our house, I wanted a clothesline. What is better than sheets and towels line dried in a gentle breeze? Nothing, right?

A few weeks ago, I finally got my clothesline. And I was so excited!clothesline 2 The posts were a little more substantial than I had expected. clothesline 3But I forgot that we don’t get gentle breezes on top of our hill.clothesline 4 We get wind. clothesline 5 Lake-effect wind.clothesline 6Seriously? Lake-effect wind? There is not a lake anywhere near us! clothesline 9 Recently, we have also had some big thunderstorm warnings.clothesline 11 And some tornado warnings.clothesline 13Perhaps I should not have put the towels out on this particular day…?clothesline 15But they smelled really great when I brought them in!   clothesline 12

    I miss those days. With the moos to the south of the house, my laundry came in with a bit too much of the "outdoors" smell to them. That and the flies on whites....sigh....How nice to see a clothesline in action though. Thanks for the smile.
