Margot over at A Mother's Place is in the Wrong is waxing whimsical about an English Winter wonderland and snowmen today. That is not quite what we call it here in Canada when we get snow in April!!! Anyway no complaining. Yesterday we had our first glorious spring day and today is shaping up pretty well.
Living here in Canada you really have to treasure these days because literally before you know it, it is too warm. No honestly - regularly 30+ and very humid. Yesterday was 15 degrees C - fabulous. All the human animals were out of enforced hibernation raking, car washing, walking, jogging - it was great!
I absolutely love this time of year here, the buds are budding, the shoots are rising 6" at a time, it is amazing. And yes, we really did have a snow storm two weeks ago!! Now most of the (can't say white) grey dirty stuff has almost disappeared. Around our neighbourhood there are one or two piles left here and there but basically we are heading for another fabulous spring day.
Debra over a Us in France was saying how she loved the smell of laundry dried outside and I commented that hanging out laundry was one of my favourite things to do, the sign of a good day. Looks like I will be doing a fair bit of laundry this week. Simple pleasures :)

Fresh laundry is lovely, I love riding past peoples houses and smelling the fabric conditioner wofting towards me in the breeze. Wierd isn't it!
Now - the lehners in France says it all doesn't she? Just the smell of the fabric conditioner on a breeze...
I never use it because we dry everything in the dryer...so Bounce sheets of course...
No racing for the rinse cycle for me...
We have been getting snow every day now for the last week. Serves me right for gloating doesn't it??
At least it melts as soon as it hits the ground - but some heavy duty snow storms have been happening here...hail the other day...
So no - I'm not out on my deck in my tshirt these days..must have been a glitch..or this is just a repayment from you!!
Congrats on getting warm spring weather. It was positively hot here today (South Florida).
I like the smell of laundry hanging out to dry, too, but my city outlaws hanging out clothes. We have too many rules.
Ashley - welcome - that's crazy isn't it, in this day and age, and with all the sunny days you have?
Aims - that doesn't sound very green - everything in the dryer! I don't rush for the rinse, I don't race for much, I just put it in at the beginning and by some magic it ends up in the rinse cycle. But of course after my initial scolding of you I should be using a wash board :) snow payback - from me - of course not (she says smiling smugly to herself at the end of a beautiful spring day!!!)
