    Default well then, what's your favorite household chore?

    Mine is hanging the laundry out on the line. I get to get outside briefly. It's mommys quiet time. plus, my line is right out by a raspberry patch i planted, and right now it is producing handfuls of fall gold raspberries. So i get 'me' time and berries

    I think hanging laundry would be my favorite too...but only in the warm weather. Don't like it much in the cold

    I like hanging the laundry & folding the laundry.
    I like cooking, too.

    Baking and (gasp!) cleaning the toilets (because of the instant gratification factor.)

    I like cooking and washing dishes. I usually have the radio on and can look out the window as I do dishes, often talk on the phone while washing them too. Time flies & I get something done.

    I have to fight over who gets to vaccuume around here. Sweeping is a close second.

    Mine is also hanging out the laundry. But I've only been doing that for a couple of months. My second favorite...hmm...decluttering, I think. It leaves me feeling so satisfied.

    I love seeing the bathroom restored to cleanliness and order when I'm finished my morning visit in there.

    I love doing the same to the kitchen.

    I think housework in general is one of my favourite things. It's like a good game of Solitaire when everything works out.

    It's restoring the universe to order and serenity.

    hanging laundry.. don't know if washing the car counts, but if so, that is my preference. I like my ride to be clean and shiny

    I like to clean my bedroom. I like going in there at night and having clean crisp sheets and bedding, everything dusted, fresh flowers on the night table, a good book ready to read, its my ahhh...time. I also love to bake.
    I must be a frustrated innkeeper
