In the wet season it's a bit hard to do laundry because most people don't have dryers. This came across to me as a bit odd but really, it's nice not to use so much energy and cloths and sheets dried in the fresh air smell nice and last longer. This has taken some getting used to. You have to time your laundry with the weather and even though I have a line under a cover it can still get annoying waiting for it to dry in windy wet weather.

Not greens as I know them... I like steamed veggies and all but... I was excited about turnip greens or mustard greens or any of the variety of the Southern dish. Ah well! Life is still good. :)
