I hung up several loads of laundry today. It is something I really enjoy. The quiet, good smells, warm breeze... Anyway, I had the thought that since the lines are so low the children could take over this chore. Hmmm...seems like a good idea...I should do that. It will help cultivate those important character qualities of thoroughness, perseverance and also help them to develop a sense of satisfaction with even the most simple yet tedious jobs. As I continued to hang up the boys clothes I began to reconsider. I will always have laundry to look after but it will not always be our boys clothes. I took a special joy today in shaking out and hanging those small shirts and pants - I won't always have them in my life. So, for now, I may enlist a young helper at times but I have to decided to keep the job to myself. :)

Aww...that looks so nice. I can't wait until the day I am able to do that. Soon I hope. I'm with you, keep on enjoying it. lol ;0) Enjoy it for me too.
We had been having so much rain it was a real pleasure to get out there and hang up laundry. What a simple pleasure. The Lord is preparing a place for you I'm sure. Maybe Missouri??? :)
Rain has kept me from putting clothes out on the line, too. I enjoy putting clothes on the line, and I love the smell of line-dried bedding.
