August 23: Windchimes

Hola, All! One of the things that I am interested in is improving the environment, which helps the air that we breathe to be cleaner. A few months ago, we put in a retractable closeline. I can't really explain the satisfaction I get from hanging my clothes outside. Maybe it's because I feel closer to nature since the clothesline is next to my roses and my newest garden. Or maybe it's because by not using the dryer, it's one way that I can cut back on our electricity use. Whatever my reasons, it is something that has many benefits. This morning I was up early washing some sheets. When the washer was done, I took the sheets outside and was hanging them on the clothesline. I was thinking about how much I enjoy letting the warm outside air dry my clothes. Suddenly I realized that I was hearing a form of music. I recognized the sound and looked at the windchimes that hang near the clothesline. Without a breeze in the air, and nothing that I could see making them move, the windchimes were playing their lovely music, seemingly by themselves! It was a miracle! Truthfully, I think it was the nature fairies way of letting me know that they were happy I was using Mother Nature in such a positive way. It was really a great way to start my day and I look forward to having it happen again!
Chao for now!
