Blowin' in the Wind


You may have noticed a news story today about a Pennsylvania woman who has been asked to stop hanging her laundry on the line. Apparently this public display 'annoys' local officials, and there is rising opposition among housing associations in the US against drying clothes naturally. I think there is something very humanizing about hanging laundry - the act itself and looking out upon backyards alive with flapping fabric. Take a drive through the countryside and marvel at the miles of sheets and shirts hanging at Mennonite farms.

How impressive this would be if we all returned to Monday as the designated wash day!
