clothes on the line

i believe my neighbor thinks i'm crazy, the one that can see my washing line.

she's told me before that i should get a new dryer because mine always seems to be broken. 

when i responded saying that i actually prefer to hang my clothes out on the line, 

she kind of shrugged her shoulders and walked off.  

so today, she gave me a very wide berth as i hung out the wash with bare hands in our below freezing temperatures, icy wind and snow flurries.  

but i don't mind, because tonight i'll be sleeping under the freshest sheets in the neighborhood!

unfortunately, i don't think most americans really get it, the hanging clothes on the line thing.

it has a poverty stigma attached to it here which we can't quite seem to get over, even here in green boulder.  

i feel very appreciative of my

opportunities to live overseas where i picked up this delightful, beggary habit

and so many more.

try it, you'll like it too!
