Sunny Day Laundry

I was SOOOOOOO thankful for a beautiful, sunny day on Sunday!  I was able to hang my laundry out to dry and get DRY clothes!  I feel bad even posting about this subject because it is a normal part of life here in Honduras, and for that matter, all over the world.  

One of the most common questions we were asked when we visited home for Christmas was, "What are some of the hardest differences?"  My answer always included LAUNDRY!!  Please do not mistake this for complaining... I am fortunate that we have a washing machine and a nice safe yard to hang my clothes in.  I just wanted to give you a glimpse of a sunny laundry day.

This is my washing machine... it is one of the two things we had to buy for our house.  It is next to the pilla where clean water is stored and you can wash clothes or other things.  We do not have a lot of water pressure, so the water that comes into the washer is more of a trickle than a spray, so I bucket water from the pilla into the washer. (I am so thankful it is right next to my washer!!)





Then when the laundry is finished I hang it up in my backyard.

Sunny days make this process a breeze (no pun intended,) but I can be a bit whiny about it when it rains day after day...  So on sunny days, I am oh so thankful!!
