Another cold and damp day.... not comfortable to be outside. I had to run to Walmart this morn. I hope to not have to go again on a Friday. It was just not fun...seemed like I was always in someone's way or they in mine. And I saw something I have not seen before. One of the guys stocking the Coke shelf had his pallet set cross ways of the aisle and had it completely blocked, instead of parking it parallel. I figures something was wrong, but did not ask.
I spent a lot of time on laundry. I absolutely hate the new washing machines. They waste so much time and I truly think more water and I know more energy. I never wash a load that I don't rinse twice. I always put it on extra deep, and still my clothes/quilts stick up out of the water. And they take forever to do a load. I don't know what a person would do that had a lot of sickness/dirty bedclothes to launder. And this washer doesn't take as long as the one I had bought a few years ago.
I am running on fumes now so will post this and try to rest.
Pretty picture.
ReplyDeleteI hate my ringer-less washer. I would never do that again if possible. Even a 'quick' wash takes much longer than a normal one used to. They are just so aggravating and never turn completely off (lights on) until you open it.
Our day has not been the best either. Lots of snow but not sticking and windy and cold.
ReplyDeleteI hope my washing machine lasts a long long time. I don't like the new ones either!!
I do like that bird, so colourful.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I kind of agree about modern washing machines. What a wild trip you had at Wal-Mart!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about the washing machines available now. It takes all day to do 4 loads with a lot of frustration too. My BIL just bought the top of the line Maytag and I'm curious whether it will have the same issues as the less expensive ones.
ReplyDeleteI hate when I go to Walmart and either employees or vendors are blocking the aisle to stock a shelf. They see you coming and don't move out of the way either.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter complains about how long it takes her washer and dryer both. I have a very old washer and I'm not looking forward to having to buy a newer one if it goes.
Pretty capture of the Cardinal.. It seems like most new appliances are as good as the old ones. They do not last as long either. Have a great day and happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a cardinal and I love that photo. Hope you are rested this morning and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great shot, I like it. I wish I had my old washer that we had left in the house when we moved here from Illinois for our son and dil who bought our house. I detest mine, one load kept going off kilter and I had to restart it many times, that load went for 2 hours. I also have an old Maytag wringer washer that I love, but I use mostly in the nicer weather when I can hang clothes out on the line. I hang most of my clothes in the house during the winter. With the wood stove going it actually puts moisture in the house.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the book I just wrote here :)
Oh I hope you got some rest and not running on fumes any longer.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your washer not "helping" you the way it should.
Love your photo of the sweet bird..perfect.

my eyes landed on the comment that says I have never seen a cardinal. I have lived in 3 states, multiple houses, some thing like 33 I think and there were always cardinals..
ReplyDeleteI hate my washer too. I had hoped they might go back to the old way but if they did would not be able to afford a new one. so happy to see you are back in the blogger groove.. welcome back.. beautiful little fluffed up cardinal
