While at the Line

Oh, how I've MISSED my clothesline!
I'm so GLAD it's nice enough now to be using it again.

When I'm hanging out the laundry,
I get to hear
~birds singing
~my children and husband getting the cows up and in the barn
~the tractors starting
~cows lowing
~goats bleating

I don't hear
~the sound of cars
~sirens
~neighbors' dogs
~the school bus waiting

I can talk to God about 
so many things while at the line.

Little things,
my little ones, 
big things,
my bigger ones.

I think about what I need to accomplish today.
I feel like I've accomplished a lot 
when I look over all the 
shirts
pants
socks
diapers
undies
pajamas
barn clothes
all neatly pinned to the lines.

It's a little order in my life.
And I love it.

  1. That sounds SO GOOD! I miss my line too, but one of them got a little broken when the tractor got too close moving snow....might be awhile before I can use it, so I will just think about you using yours and smile!
