Hanging laundry

I love hanging laundry. It's very calming, refreshing and productive at the same time. I think people have the impression that hanging laundry is hard or an annoyance or too time consuming. To these people, I say try it. Try not arching your back over your dryer to fill it and bring your clothes and yourself up out of the basement and outside. Feel a damp shirt draped across your shoulder as you adjust the clothes pin in front of you. Listen to the birds sing and the breeze blow through. Hear the voices and sounds of your neighbors and community. Leave the dryer standing still, not charging you money and not draining energy from our precious resources. You are not standing still, though, while the dryer does your work. You are doing your work and feeling alive and active. It's easy and it's a beautiful thing....try it.
