20 Days of {Summer} Happiness!...Day 6

{Day 6} Notre corde à linge...

There is nothing quite as fresh as hanging linens out on a clothes-line (corde à linge) to sun dry!  Most people in Québec do this all year around.  Yep, even in the snow!  I think it's beautiful with all of the clothes lines from one apartment to the next in Montréal...So, today, instead of drying our comforters and sheets with the machine, I let the sun work its magic.  Now, when we go to bed, I will for sure have a smile on my face from this little piece of sunny happiness....


While it does look nice hanging there in the sun...the pictures don't show the whole story behind this activity...let's just say that I was home alone and our clothes-line snapped from the hook and everything fell on me...which then left me stranded, pulling on the rope to keep everything above ground...in the end I implemented a pulley system that included wrapping the additional rope around choice items in our shed...in other words, I should be the first one to the shed tomorrow, before Captain America sees the contraption...
In the meantime, I'll sleep blissfully with the smell of the outdoors.

What do you like to do to bring the outdoors inside your home?
