Do y’all read Down to Earth? She is such an interesting lady. She had a wonderful post about laundry. And since laundry is my life, (well, it feels that way on most days) I was immediately drawn to it and had to check out the links she included. I was so inspired to get back into the groove of hanging my laundry out on the line.
I have really let that slide. Been strugglin’ along with my pokey electric dryer for weeks now. Using the recent rains and my current sinus infection as reasons excuses for my laundry laziness.
But today was a good day to start hangin’ out again, since I am about 3 days behind on the laundry routine. (Let’s blame my sinus infection, oh, and the pokey electric dryer.) So this morning I washed a big load of Cowboy clothes and took ‘em out back only to find that we must have had a bit of rain during the night and I had some muddy ground to contend with.
We’ve had a drought for about 793 years and have recently had a bunch of rain. Translated into Lawn Language and that means that I have had bare dirt for a back yard but now have big patches of weeds, but only here and there. So, I could have just turned around and put all that wet laundry into the pokey dryer OR stop being a baby and find a solution.
I turned around and right there on my patio were two empty charcoal briquette bags. Big ones! And they were already flattened out! I just picked ‘em up and carried them over to my clothes line area, being very careful to walk only on the weeds, and plunked those big paper bags down on the mud right where I needed to stand to hang all that Cowboy laundry out.
Let me tell you! It’s workin’ like a charm AND there’s the added benefit of being reminded of all those Jeff Foxworthy jokes while I hang my laundry, ‘cuz really? It looks like a redneck lives here!
