I know it doesn’t seem right that anyone would want to dream about laundry, but I just love the fresh smell of laundry that has hung out to dry on a clothesline! It makes me think of my childhood when my mom hung out the laundry. My favorite things from the clothesline are the crisp bed linens! The wonderful scent of the outdoor air was refreshing as I would fall asleep! There is something special and intriguing about seeing laundry on a clothesline. I was reminded of it quite a bit when I was on my recent road trip…here’s a few photos to show you why!
Maybe someday I will have a clothesline of my own and can go back to the good old days as I lay my head down on freshly “dried in the outdoors sheets”!
I really had such a good time on our road trip and keep thinking of the wonderful Amish people we met along the way and the simple, but hard working life they lead! The hand quilting they do is just beautiful and watching them do it with such ease, speed and accuracy was just a pleasure. I had the opportunity to take a few photos of some of their quilts as you can see a few in my Flickr photo stream…here’s a couple more…
This was at an Amish quilt shop and we watched the Amish woman quilting it. She was a very nice woman, answered any questions we had about the Amish and did just beautiful work!
Now I am off to visit my friend “Ethel” and reminisce about our trip a little more!
Blessings,
Amanda
