Oh yes, I do love doing laundry. And on a day like this, with wind and mild temperatures, the laundry dries beautifully on the line outside. When I walk by the basket of clean laundry the fresh smell wafts out and gently touches my senses. Do you know that smell?! If not, trust me and start to dry your clothing on a line out of doors.
Recently a friend told me that she received a tip on how to keep the washing machine working for years on end. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes between loads, and 1 hour is even better. These were the instructions that she was given 25 years ago, when she received the machine that she still has today!
Care for your appliances so that they serve you for years on end. Care for your clothing so that they last for many years and many children (dryers shorten the life of clothing dramatically). Care for your soul by slipping outside to do “mundane” work with the chirping of the birds and nattering of the squirrels.
