It wasn't so hot when I headed outside today ... And there was a faint smell of rain in the air ... LOVE THAT!
I was only outside a few minutes when a breeze picked up, clouds blew in and the smell of rain took over my senses ...
So glad I made it in time to pull the clothes off the line. Anyone else think there's no scent quite so nice as line-dried clothes? (except the smell of a newborn baby of course!)

The smell of the desert after it rains is one of my favorites. We had a brief rainshower here in Phoenix this morning as well. It was wonderful. Cute shoes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quote! and... I LOVE YOUR SHOES!

Line dried clothes and new babies!! Absolutely!
ReplyDeleteI have another one to add. Baby chicks. We have 25 little balls of fluff in our spare shower and I can't stop kissing them and smelling them.
You might not want to pass that last revelation of mine around. :-)
Love your shoes too! I haven't dried clothes on a line in forever...I need to do that!
ReplyDeleteRain sounds wonderful we have had a heat wave here this week and it's been HOT!! They say it's going to be 30 degrees cooler tomorrow, yippee!
I owe you an email Sweet Friend...been trying to get my house prepared for our party this weekend. Hope you have a fabulous evening!

Love that quote! And those shoes are awesome. I've never hung dry my clothes outside but maybe I ought to!
ReplyDeleteRained here today too, which would have been great, but it is my first day of school with my first graders.
ReplyDeleteWe would dry our clothes outside, but we have too much clothes(:
ReplyDeletethose shoes are so cute! great quotes as always :)
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! Your photos are amazing. When i was a kid my mother used to do laundry and hang them outside to dry on the lines. I remember running under the sheets and watching the wind sway them back and forth. Your post brought me back to my childhood. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a close call with the close.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and great image creation...
Love these photos and great quote also! SarahD:)
ReplyDeleteCan I just tell you I absolutely love your shoes. So gorgeous.
