For the Love of Laundry {Bella Grace Magazine Give-Away}

I have an affair with laundry.

We meet almost every day.

We are down and dirty. We toss and tumble.

Then we lay out to dry.

Fresh as sunshine, clean as air.

We return to the places we are expected. Ready to squander.

lather. rinse. repeat.

"My heart is all a flutter,

like the washing on the line"

~Nathalia Crane~

when you sleep with me,
your linens have been kissed by sunshine
and danced in the wind

I know I am home
when I have a line to hang laundry
~Deb~

My one and only favorite chore is laundry. Seems like instant gratification to transform a pile of dirty clothes into a piece of art...folded nice and neatly, ready to rumple and crumple again.
Also the nostalgic component of wooden clothespins on a string, holding the laundry against the wind, basking in the sunshine, and breathing new life into each thread.
You know what I am talking about.
You know you love the scent of this post.

Tell me about your memories or current thoughts
about your own laundry lust.
Is it a love/hate relationship?
