    Default my daily pix #2

    What could be more symbolic of simple living than a homemade pink apron and white cotton table cloth drying in the sun. Yes, I did make this apron and used to wear it when I worked in our store, but since it's a bit older now I only wear it when I'm doing housework.

    One of the things I love doing is putting on an apron before I start work. It prepares me for what I'm about to do and tells me to slow down and think about what I'm about to do.

    I'm so pleased that so many of you like the idea of these pics. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. And what wonderful comments! and for the record, I'm a 56 year old happily married woman and I don't care for internet dating.

    Did someone ask you out?

    I like this picture. There's something so serene about seeing clothes hung on a line.

    When I get up in the mornings, I don my apron & pull my hair up...

    I get such a good feeling seeing our clothes flapping in the breeze!
    It makes me slow down & appreciate the simpler things!

    I have the same kind of clothes line.
    Yesterday we talked of you being lovely, today I'm enjoying the lovely picture of the breeze making your laundry dance.

    Wonderful picture Bethany

    I try to remember to put my apron on but I must admit it usually isn't until after I am covered in flour that I think of it.

    Great choice, I love clotheslines (have 5 loads on mine now as I type.) I like to make aprons, but I need to wear them more often. I wear mine to hold clothespins as I put items on my line.
