Why "The Laundry Line"?

Why the "laundry line"? It's simple really. The laundry line is colorful and full of different shapes and textures. It tells a story about the week gone by, and the people who lived it.The laundry line is a lot like life. It causes you to plan ahead for the weather, to slow down and wait, and to take a big deep breath of fresh smelling fabric.Hanging things on the laundry line takes time, and gives you time to think. You hang it up, and then you wait. It doesn't happen in an instant. Sometimes you get lucky and a breeze comes along to stir things up. Laundry in the breeze moves freely, and flourishes in the sunlight. Sometimes you wait too long, and a cold rain interrupts the drying process. Then you have to either run to the rescue, or wait until the weather evens out again. Either way, hanging things on the laundry line slows you down, and makes you pay attention. And that can't be a bad thing.
