hoist the flag

oh oh .. . .
I put my sheets out to dry this morning. . .
Knowing that we were having brick NE winds and near freezing temperatures,
I was busy patting myself on the back at my contribution to saving the earth.

I hung the sheets out and was beginning to roll out the line when .. .
it took off. . . on its own . ..
I pulled back but the thing kept going ..
and now. . .
I can't get it back .. .
I've a laundry line situation.
I can just imagine my farmer coming out of the barn to the house for lunch .. .
saying. . ."looks like you have a bit of a problem"
I'll say .. . "help me"
I think I'll go cook up something yummy for lunch ..
Have a wonderful day my friends.

  2. Please have your handy farmer husband come and put up one of those nifty clotheslines for me! They are so hand and we don't have them down here in this land. Such wonderful memories of helping auntie hang laundry. . .sending it off across the yard with a pully!

    Enjoy a beautiful day! It's sunny here, but very breezy! My new bedding plants are all lined safely along a wall in my dining room. Too much danger of frost yet --- it's supposed to snow! Yikes!

    Love,

  9. Hi
    You don't know me, but today, I googled to find a lemon poppyseed cheesecake recipe, and, I got yours. It sounded so good that I made it for my daughter-in-laws birthday celebration tonight. It was a big hit and very tasty. I am very blessed by your blog, being of Mennonite origin, living in southern Mb and being a lover of cooking!
    Thank you and blessings

  12. You know, if you use a drier, mockingbirds get a nesting material. If you use a line, you don't want mockingbirds anywhere nearby, for obvious reasons...and please oh please don't let the eagles "drop" by!

    Eh, it is all a trade off what really is best for ecology. Glad you got fresh smelling sheets and a good laugh out of the mishap.

  13. And then there are those of us who use our dryer..... Hee hee. Such strange weather these days. Can't wrap my head around it!

    Hope your lunch was as wonderful as anticipated.
