On the Subject of Laundry ...

9/9/2014

I don't mind putting it in the washer, and I don't even object to transferring it to the dryer. It's the final step of laundry that I hate doing - taking it out of the dryer. It's the same with the dishwasher. I'll load that puppy all day long and happily get it started, but when it comes time to unload it, I am usually hiding out somewhere far, far away.

Home of the laundry and dishwasher shirkers.

There is one type of laundry though that brings me great joy. I adore washing saddle pads and other barn items. This weekend I washed my boot rags. I keep of pile of old rags near my boots that I use to wipe off dust and to polish my tack. The rags have certainly seen better days, but there is a still a difference between a dirty rag and a clean one.

So very satisfying ...

I happily folded these towels and tucked them in between my boots and spurs and my leather cleaning/conditioning arsenal. Just looking at the neatly folded stack brings me joy. By the week's end the pile will be topsy turvy and covered with dust, but for at least one afternoon I got to enjoy clean towels that smelled of Tide and Bounce.

What odd little thing brings you joy at the barn?

I am exactly the opposite! I loooove to fold... but I'm not so good at putting laundry in and moving it to the dryer.

folding isn't too annoying to me... putting said laundry away, however... that's another story lol.

for odd things that bring joy at the barn: love the satisfaction of a freshly swept barn aisle.

I love organizing my trunk (when I have time). Simple pleasures!

Please, come to my house and do all the rest of the steps. I'll take the laundry out, fold, and put it away!
