LAUNDRY! That is what is on my mind today. As I sit and enjoy my coffee this morning I'm remembering my old Farm which I shared with my landlord, she was 97 at the time. It was my first summer hanging clothes on the line. I was young I enjoyed the thought of saving myself money and the smell of line dried clothes.   My old landlord did not approve of the way I hung my laundry on the line.   She got in her Hoveround drove down to my laundry line removed all of it and threw it all on my front porch. She told me there was rules to hang up laundry on the line and I was not following them.   And called me a city girl. I was mildly insulted. Here are the Rules that she stated that I must follow: Drying clothes and household linens on a clothesline is energy efficient, helps items last longer because it is more gentle on fabrics than a clothes dryer 1.You're supposed to hang your shirts inside out if there printing so the sun does not fade them. 2. You hang pants

We installed our Rain Barrels today!  It was a beautiful sunny day.. can't wait for it to rain now!                                                                   They shipped in boxes.            Before this we only had one 55 gallon blue barrel behind our chicken coop. When we installed the fence around the run, that had to come down (will be reinstalled at a later date..its on the ever growing to do list) We did not want the bright, blue ones in the front of the house, and sitting with my flowers. So a little looking around we found these - upcycled ones that came with everything we needed. Shipped right to us- I love Amazon. I'm guilty of doing a little too much shopping on there.
