Airing Dirty Laundry
08.05.10
Keeping in line with self-sufficiency and homesteading philosophies here at Mango Cottage, we hang clothes outside on a clothesline – we have a dryer but rarely use it, only when we absolutely have to.
Today I did whites.
Today our back neighbors have a tree trimming service trimming their big oaks, cutting down diseased and dead tress, and chipping it all in a GIANT chipper/shreader machine.
This creates huge clouds of sawdust, dirt, dust and grime.
The wind is blowing our direction from their yard.
My clothesline is near to and runs parallel with the fence that separates our yards.
I’m grateful I don’t have to wash clothes by hand. Too demoralized to even take a picture.
Nuff said.
