Hello all.....................as I've said before there are times when there is just nothing to say or show. I am doing some decluttering/cleaning and getting my home in better order. I find I have more peace of mind to create or even think once things get straightened out. I've let it go so long that the task takes longer than if I just kept things up along the way. (I can hear my Mom now......"if you just did a little each day....") BUT that seems to be how I roll. I can feel my imagination work better and new ideas appearing when things around me aren't in a state of chaos. I know many of you are like that as well. We had a few REALLY HOT days here and it just rags me out when that happens so that all I want to do is stand in front of the window AC. Today is much better thus I don't have to hear the droning of the window ACs or the myriad fans we have placed about the house........all windows are open and a breeze is coming in. I have laundry to do as well and with another closeline up I can now hang more outside......there is nothing like the feeling of clothes, sheets and towels right off the line. (to me anyway) AND it's so much more energy efficient. There is something very Zen about pegging wash outside on the line.....I love the flapping if the breeze picks up and although it takes a bit longer than stuffing clothes in the dryer......it's just so much more fresh to me. Some people don't like towels from the line, think they're too stiff.........not me...to me they never dry you off better than when off the line. This all reminds me, I need to make a new peg bag mine has simply fallen apart! So that's where I'm at!
Oh,my dear friend Anna(Naturegirl) is about to embark on a difficult journey concerning her health. She is a warrior though and I know with the collective of positive vibes, thoughts and prayers she will win this!
Perhaps you may find a moment to drop her a comment of kindness.
Then I read sweet Sheila just lost her father (and he was Gillian's grandfather)....he had been battling health issues but it's still hard to lose a parent/grandparent regardless. My heart is with both of them.
I just hate reading of people struggling with health issues or loss..........I just wish we never had to deal with these things. I know that's an unrealistic wish but it pains me when anyone is hurting for ANY reason.
Maybe if I wave the magic wand it will work..............................
Love,
Lisa

Oh Lisa, I don't know exactly what you have done to your blog, but it looks perfect. Your galleries especially are wonderful.
I am sorry to hear about your friends.
Washlines and summer, is there anything more delicious than getting into bed with the sweet fresh scent of line-dried sheets?
