We've had ants here for the past several weeks and I know where they're getting in so I'm going to do that!<br /><br />Also, I think it was you who had commented on my blog a while back about getting locally-harvested honey to help reduce environmental allergies. I had previously heard that so we've been buying local for the last couple of years. It probably does help, but we still both require allergy medication - me year round and my husband just in spring and fall. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing all your great advice and tips, and I'd love an iced coffee right now!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520682388731742925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-66999956881001284332011-06-28T11:37:08.380-04:002011-06-28T11:37:08.380-04:00Clothes smell so good when they dry outside!

I can 'hear' the snap of sheets and towels in the breeze. To this day, there are two 'smells' that are so incredibly comforting and peaceful to me (1) fresh baked bread and (2) sleeping on sheets that smell like sunshine! Also, I liked your take better on the 'Be Blessed,' tweaked to 'Be a Blessing,' that is what the Lord asks of us, is it not? ~Madge <Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-12723182812149771872011-06-28T06:45:19.639-04:002011-06-28T06:45:19.639-04:00I have to wash two or three times a week... but I ...I have to wash two or three times a week... but I don't iron everything...:o)Timihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03334177287615515491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-37166658112426444842011-06-28T04:27:20.729-04:002011-06-28T04:27:20.729-04:00I love clothes hanging on a line.

Dryers absolutely ruin fibers. I mean, we all must use dryers for our towels, but anything else is best outside if one has room and time. I live in a townhome now and I use a collapsible rack, so there is a way if one tries.

I'd love to put a line in the backyard but with the three large dogs running amuck out there every time we let them out, I'm sure the clothes would be covered in red Georgia clay quickly LOL I used to make my own laundry soap too - so easy and cleans really well. I need to get back into that again now that my work project has wound down and I have a little more time than I had the past six months. Hugs to you and remember to let things go - if you can't get it done than it isn't critical.

I usually do several loads of wash starting on Monday and right on through Friday and an occasional Saturday if need be. I wash as we need them and there are enough of that(color) to make a load. I use my own detergent ~ has been working great!<br />I remember my grandma (who raised me) telling me about the days when they all wore long skirts (only). She said people didn't wash things as much as we do today. On wet rainy, snow-y,muddy days, skirts were pretty sodden and dirty at least six inches up the hem! And they didn't wash them until next week! Again, Yikes!<br />I'm so sorry Daniel has been having trouble with his back. I can sympothize ~ mine has been acting up (herniated disc) and not getting as much done here as I'd like.<br />You simply cannot be doing the haying by yourself,Sandra!?! Oh, I wish I was there to help you! I used to help my grandpa hay every year since I was 7 years old. We would bring the hay in loose. What a hot, itchy, back breaking job it was! Oh, my! I will surely be praying extra hard for Daniel to get well soon to help!<br />Lunch, Supper, Dinner! It has always confused me! What meal am I eating at what time?<br />Your little Auntie Esther sounds like such a dear! My gradma lived to be 94 and I hope to do the same, Lord willing. And I look forward to hearing from you after your chores are finished, if you still have energy to come read!<br />And I suppose I am one you are admonishing 'cuz I am always signing off with Be Blessed. I do hope that each day, to someone I can ...<br />Be a Blessing!Lady Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478162101957028151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-1087282679367747512011-06-27T17:32:07.714-04:002011-06-27T17:32:07.714-04:00BTW, I signed on to FOLLOW.

We really are concerned abo...Hello Sandra and Dave:<br />We really are concerned about the amount of work you have to cope with and, so it appears to us, with very little in the way of additional help. And yet you are so very cheerful and are clearly putting a very good face on what we suspect, from the little we know, are very difficult times. But, like you, we firmly believe that we are never given more to endure than, as an individual, we can actually cope with.<br /><br />That said, it does not make the household chores any less, nor, we feel, does it make you less tired.<br /><br />We are so far away and it is useless to pretend that we can assist you in any practical way. But, be assured, you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. Now, it is Monday night. Leave that washing on the line!!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-29418471275793351682011-06-27T15:58:57.058-04:002011-06-27T15:58:57.058-04:00Great tips!
