I love a windy day that blows It's woodsy breath upon the clothes I hang out on the line to dry And chases clouds about the sky I love a windy night as well, That makes the curtains puff and swell When blowing through the open pane And bringing in the scent of rain. It also brings the rushing sound of pushing boughs of trees around And other strange and haunting sighs My listening ear can't recognize. On flower-scented sheets, I lie And hear the night go breezing by! Betty Lou Hebert Published in Rhyme Time Magazine 1989 [This message has been edited by Trillium (edited 05-14-2001).] |

Beautiful. I remember the fresh smell of sheets off the line. Now it is so much easier to put them in the dryer. Joyce |

Wonderful! I love that smell of the earth when it rains...I've heard it said... that is what God smells like! Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

faterider: Thanks for reading and commenting. I guess many people enjoy the wind......if it's reasonable and not blowing things away. Betty Lou Hebert |

It is hot and sticky here, I could use a little of that wind, if you could spare it. One's not half two it's two are halves of one EE Cummings |

For most, drying clothes outside is a thing of the past. It isn't possible where I live. But, This reminds me of my mother and how she had to do it. Thanks. Melton |

I live in the country so I still dry clothes outside at times, especially sheets and towels. Love that fresh air scent. Better than fabric softener any day. Betty Lou Hebert |
