it's so easy being green

When it's this kind of weather, when the temperature is in the low 80s and there isn't a cloud in the sky and a sweet breeze is blowing, I get all like, "Man, I have GOT to hang something on the line."

I've even been known to get clean clothes out of drawers and wash them, just so I can hang them up to dry.

Not really.

But there is something just so deeply soul-satisfying about hanging Downy-scented laundry in the sun, seeing it swaying gently in the breeze. And I love the way the things smell when I bring them in.

I would prefer drying clothes this way even if it wasn't the most energy-efficient, ecologically-responsible method. So knowing that I'm doing my part makes it all the better.

And really, could Al Gore hope for more than that? (Do you think he has a clothesline in his back yard?)

I would be doing the same thing if I were allowed to have a clothesline. (See: my bucket list!) I wish I did. I think that would make my day a little happier. And my upstairs a little cooler, from not having to run the dryer.
