Nothing Like a Good Sunny Day to Hang Laundry on the Clothesline

I’ve been waiting for a day like today to wash my bed covers. The dogs got muddy paw prints all over my comforter and sheets about 2 days after I last washed everything! I love that sunny fresh smell to my sheets, so I’ve been waiting – now a couple of weeks since then – to do them again. Last week every day was quite foggy and sloggy. This weekend has been wonderful here on the coast, and hellishly hot everywhere else, from what I hear. 

I put the sheets and pillowcases through the washer with lavender scent (thank you Melanie, for turning me on to this), then I hang them on my “no homeowner’s association here thank you” line to dry. I put the pillows and duvet out on the lawn in the sun for a little bit of organic microbicide treatment (sun’s UV rays).


Bed is now all made up fresh and clean, and I got a good photo out of the whole thing too. I always sleep like a bay-buh on these nights.
Now I’m going to make some biscuits for the strawberry shortcake dessert to go with the ribs, corn on the cob and baked beans I’m making for my second oldest for dinner tonight.

Garage Sales

I am loving taking photos of items at garage sales. Here’s one from today – a friend’s aperitif glasses reflecting on the white plastic table. The hot sunny day made for some good photos.



And here are a few more from a sale I had in 2008.

Sunny Photo for a Sloggy Day

It is “raining” in HMB. Not real rain – but they heavy soupy fog that makes everything wet. I call that sloggy.  It is pretty warm though. But not hot or humid. Just not freezing.

So here’s a “sunny” photo to remind me that the sun is shining somewhere today.

Sunset Magazine Open House Menlo Park

Flogged with people, right at opening time of 10 am. It was warm and muggy, and lots of fun things to see. I concentrated on cheese tasting and photo taking.
Here are a couple of shots of the event.  Nice to get out of the house and fog (House of Fog?) and be around some people. Lots of people. (Notice how I avoided taking photos of the crowds?)
