Saturday

This morning I am washing all of the fleece pullovers, coats, jackets, gloves, hats and scarves that acquired a musty smell from being piled up in the cellar all summer. I am a little crabby about doing the job but it works. After the clothing gets washed in the machine the mustiness is completely gone. 100 years ago this task would've taken all day. I am grateful that this only takes a few hours and I hang the wet clothes next to the boiler to dry.
