thebratqueenIt is getting to be nice outside in a way that even a die hard polar bear like myself must admit is enjoyable. There's still that tinge of winter coldness, but it's balanced by sunlight and wisps of warmth and the sight of tiny flowers starting to poke their way through the soil.
I spent yesterday being scarily productive as my body responds to the changes in weather with the start of Spring cleaning. Today will be slightly more laid back as I only touch up a few things and then make soda bread. (The joys of doing your own cooking? You don't have to have raisins in your soda bread if you don't want 'em. *nodnod*)
The happy scent of Spring in the air has got me pondering changes in how I do some things. For reasons both frugal and environmental (mostly environmental) I'm thinking about moving away from drying my clothes in the dryer and line drying them instead. I'm one of the lucky few who lives in a co-op that actually encourages line drying and has not one but two whole sections dedicated to clothes lines. One of which is right outside my back porch. Also I have plenty of room in my apt to dry things indoors when the weather is not so hot.
The one thing that I wonder is how long the process takes. From looking out my kitchen window I can see laundry hung up sometime in the AM that is taken down before sunset, but I have no idea how early these folks get up to do that. And as you know, I am not what you would call an early riser.
Obviously all of this is affected by things like time of year and humidity and what have you, but is there anyone out there who line dries who can at least give a guesstimate? (ETA: Also a guesstimate on time it takes to dry indoors would be helpful.)
Finally, quiz ganked from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cedara which I am copying here because the answer amuses me and, I imagine, will amuse justhuman as well, given what she knows about me ;)
Which Irish Goddess Are You? (awesome pics)
You are Flidais, a woodland goddess, and your chariot is reputed to be drawn by deer. At one with nature, you are considered to be the protector of the trees in the forest, the protector of the creatures of the forest. Also considered a goddess of the hunt, you are an accomplished archer. Your classic image is one of a benevolent, poised woman, often accompanied by woodland creatures and your bow.
