One good thing about gale-force winds....

 ....it forces you to change your method of hanging out the clothes.  Every time I pinned a piece to the clothesline, it went flying off into the garden fence.  I thought, "Hey, why not throw the wash against the fence then?"  It worked beautifully.  I did pin it on as well, but honestly, the wind is so strong, it would stay put without the clothes pins.

We're expecting thunderstorms and rain later on this afternoon.  If the force of the east wind has anything to do with the amount of rain coming, we'll be up to our ankles in water.  We aren't supposed to get lots of rain, but any little bit will be welcomed.  At the moment, our electricity is out and we are using generator power.  Too bad we don't have a windmill.

  7. I guess you would have a far more creative reason why your socks are missing their mates! :)

    Bet your clothes dried in no time!

    Enjoy that fresh clean smell on your clothes. Alas, our Southern air puts yucky smells on the clothes, so hanging outside is not the fragrant experience I enjoyed in the Midwest.
    Happy Spring!

  8. Brilliant! Farm wife ingenuity and energy. You make me want to go hang clothes here, where the spring wind is also blowing, but not so fiercely.
