Laundry on the Line

Laundry on a fresh spring day stokes memories of hanging lines and lines of it for my mother - hiding between the lines with my brothers and sisters, smelling the fresh sheets and towels, then endless folding. The larger the family the more there is to hang and fold as we all know.

A friend was in Uganda recently for a stay and remarked how striking the women's pure white robes were, women with no access to the facilities we have. Beautiful clean white cloth-----!
