I still hang clothes out (most days) I loved both of the articles on laundry — the May 2013 one by Donna Smith and August 2013 one by Vina Doss. I was born and raised on a farm in Seven Springs, Wayne County. My Mom never had a dryer and always hung her clothes out. I used her clothesline, and the neighbor said she never could tell if it was me or my mother hanging out clothes due to our size. In the winter time I can remember the clothes freezing as my mother hung them out. It was a treat to go to bed at night and smell those fresh sheets. I still hang my clothes out, but I have to be careful of hog houses across the road in the woods, because if the wind is blowing a certain way I may have to wait another day. Yes, I do have a dryer, but I only use it when it’s raining or it’s an emergency. I notice that very few people on my road hang out clothes anymore.

Recently we had an unusual visitor. The big fellow is on one of our stepping stones. I hope people can appreciate the beautiful benefits of nature and a wonderful God who allows us to see it. Life is so grand.
I am 13 and in the 8th grade. When I get older I want to be a photographer. I love the pictures in Carolina Country magazine, so I took some pictures specifically for you. Allyssa Blake, Raeford, Lumbee River EMC

I took this photo in my backyard with my G11 Canon camera. I am not sure what kind of fly it is.
