I find I get an odd enjoyment when I hang our laundry out to dry... I hated doing this as a kid..but now it's saved us a bundle on our electric bill. Also I feel peaceful when I scrub the nasty green stuff out of my horse Lucy's water buckets. The thing that makes both these things so peaceful for me is that the kids are usually hiding so they won't be involved...and it's outside...I hear the hawks or the cows...and I can't hear the tv. I'm thinking of moving out there! :)

My mother passed away when I was pregnant at 23, I'll never forget her perched with an old light bulb and socks darning away. When did we start to throw away everything? She knew the hard earned value of her paycheck. She was a treasure my mother....
