The clothesline, every farm seems to have one. Ours is a necessity as a 200 year old farmhouse wasn't made to fit a dryer, barely a washer. I've been advised by friends I can use it all year round, which in this age of convenience seems absurd. However what other option did people have before electricity? So I'm willing to try it as I have enough renovations going on now. The kids are great helpers, turning darks inside out and passing me the clothespins. Also, hanging up the clothes makes me take a minute to have a break actually today was half an hour, so many socks! I have a hard time staying still as there is so much to do but today I found myself wondering what the heck it that noise?
It sounded like a toad screeching or coughing. What on earth? It turned out to be a crow. Crazy. There are a lot of weird noises on this farm in the country. The other weird one was the deer woofing at me. Seriously it sounded like an elephant!
Well wish me luck with the weather. I need at least 2 days a week without rain or a gale blowing. Tried that, I don't recommend it.
