Hanging the clothes out to dry...

We are well into the rainy season now which has its benefits but I am learning that there are some down sides as well.  The rains grow the crops and bring cooler weather.  I personally love the cooler weather but Goretty doesn't really like it. I have had to use a blanket at night a few times which when we moved here I didn't think would ever happen.  It doesn't rain everyday but it just so happens that every time Goretty does the wash for us (which is usually twice a week) it rains.  She washes everything by hand so it takes some time and then we hang everything on the line.  On a good day where it is warm and sunny, the clothes are dry by night. But now we have to put them on the line then take them down because it starts raining then put them back when it stops and then bring them inside overnight and then put them back the next day.  It's a lot of monkey business but if we want dry clothes then its the price we have to pay. I would love to get washing machine because it would get the clothes more dry so they wouldn't take so long to dry and because due to the rainy season, which lasts longer than I thought it did, the kids go through so many more clothes.  I love that they play outside and get wet and muddy but it is really hard on their clothes especially because they are hand washed. The scrubbing plus the sun really do a number on our clothes. But this is the means we have for washing and so this is what we will continue to do.  I just keep praying and asking God to provide a washing machine if and when the time is right.  So every time you use your washer and dryer you can think of us and if you are willing pray for us!
