Haha that is cute. They must have been putting down lots of manure. My husband used to work at a Carrot plant and the water they used to rinse the carrots went down into a sump. They would have to dredge the sumps every so often. I imagine the spreading of the manure would smell the same way. Not what you want your laundry to smell like. :)
lol ... just had this conversation with a transplant this morning. She asked if one ever gets used to it ... I said the natural manure, yea, you get used to that but the liquid manure, NO WAY ... never get used to that one!
I like the team of mules used to pull the tank. Are your neighbors Amish? I was so impressed by the beautiful and well cared for animals owned by the farmers I saw in Amish country. Manure spreading smell---not so much.
I was always told that manure was the smell of money :) Know what you mean about picking days for line drying. Around here it is the smell of smoke...uggg. Have put a clothes rack up in the spare bedroom for drying clothes. I really dislike using my dryer in the warm weather. You know me and how I like to see clothes drying on a line :) Love the picture!
Oops, usually it is nice to snuggle into sheets hung out on the line. I may get grass clippings in ours, but that is about the worst of it. Hope they got a second washing :-)
Oh dear... Well, that's what comes with living in the country I suppose :) Around here... it's Thursdays that you want to be careful hanging the wash; as that's the day that the turkey plant processes. Burning feathers...nice....NOT! We're pretty lucky that we don't smell it every week, just once in a while when the wind blows just right.
I love, love, love that wagon and team. How great!!
Drat about you selling your dehydrator! No lie... dried pears~~ they are better than chocolate!!

ReplyDeleteI agree!! And I should know by now not to hang out laundry, but it was already hung out when he started spreading! :)

ReplyDeletefor that reason I do not hang out wash, there is nothing else that comes close to that smell.
