chilleeee and hoisting the new line

When the weather man says in the morning that we've had the coolest spring since 1970 something. . . I believe him.

We've had a few warm days.

Everyone pretends its warm.

In the mall, you see young girls that have nice shorts and legs to match. . . proudly sporting their summer clothes.

Mostly though, I try to look past the chilleeeee weather and admire the beauty of the season.

The raspberry fields across the road are so perfect now. The field has been rototillered and the blossoms will soon be covered with bees.

Oh, remember my clothesline difficulty a few weeks back? The sheets were tangled into the reel at the end of the line?

Sing with me. . ."does your line hang low, does it wobble to and fro. . . ."

Well, my beloved then announced that the line had stretched beyond repair and a new one would be required before I tried to hang the wash.

So .. .

the other day we were in Canadian Tire .. .

he turned right towards the mechanic section .. .

and I turned left towards housewares.

After browsing for 20 minutes or so, I called him up. . .

I said. . ."where are you"

He said .. . "aisle 50 .. .clotheslines"

I said .. ."I'll meet you there". . .snickering

When I arrived he was busy studying the various lines and tightening devices ..

He looked at me .. .

I was holding a line and the tightening devices that I had already studied and selected.

Good times.. . .

He had a look and after being properly impressed that I knew what was all needed .. .

we headed for the checkout.

So, yesterday when he realized that dinner wasn't quite done, he went out to give the old line its walking papers.

One snip and it was all over.

I looked out my window and . .
I said. . ."what you doin"?"
Oddly .. .he didn't reply.
I went back to making dinner.


Minutes later .. .
a little crimping. .
( I safely observed from within the home. . .as not to disturb or annoy my clothesline installer).


More tightening .. . .

and I have one tight line. . .
woo hoo.

It's a beautiful thing. . .

now if I could just have a breezy sunshiny day .. .

Oops, I just was about to sign off and I scrolled down and found one more picture.

This one is for all of you that think. . . .

that it all turns out wonderfully in my kitchen. .

When the recipe calls for a 8X5 loaf pan ..

observe the rules. .

Have a wonderful day my friends.

I'm off for my walk.
