Zen Mindfulness of Hanging Out the Clothes

I use a solar/wind powered clothes dryer, practically year round.  Aside from the financial (clothes pins and rope cost me about $7.00) and ecological advantages, there is always this other dimension associated with drying the clothes.  The oak trees are starting to change color.   In hanging out the clothes, there is always a connection to the season and the weather.  Sometimes the branches on the trees are bare or budding or changing color and falling off.  Sometimes there’s a setting moon or a hawk in the sky.   This stuff is always there if you just pay attention.  It’s what they call Mindfulness.
