    Hi Merisi,

    I really love that pic! It's like an IKEA Post Card Image :-)
    BTW in Virginia they changed the law,
    "ecological drying sypplies" are now allowed in your back yard. That is true!

  4. Merisi! Who would have EVER thought that a photo of clothes pins on a wash line would look so fabulous! And yes, it does look like a music staff.........I would have never thought of that until you mentioned it. How colorful and fun your post is today!! Happy Monday.....
