Laundry ListMay 28, 2010 A picture perfect laundry day, so it's out there flapping on the line and testifying that we're indeed moving toward summer. Wednesday was hot, too-hot-to-eat hot. Yecchh. Yesterday and today are bright, breezy, and cooler. Out on the line: 6 pair jeans and other long pants no shorts (haven't got 'em out yet) 1 sweatshirt 2 turtlenecks 7 T-shirts, only one of which has long sleeves. That's the serious sign that the weather is warming up. 2 barn towels. Why 2? Because Contessa the pistol-packin' mini bit me in the cheek when I was putting out hay last evening. She's tried before but she's never connected. The towel I used to stanch the bleeding with was already pretty filthy, so belatedly I considered hygiene and rummaged through my trunk for a clean one. My washcloth got laundered for the same reason, but it's out on the deck on the drying rack, along with my socks and underwear. The cut on my face is barely noticeable now, but the blood dribbled quite dramatically. While the wash was washing -- the machines have gone up to summer rates, but though $5.25 is more than the $4 I paid early this month, it's less than the $5.50 they charged last summer -- Travvy and I strolled around the airport and through the terminal. He was friendly and talkative and doing very well -- till we were on our way out of the terminal and he snatched a stretchy charm-type bracelet from a little girl's wrist. He hadn't done this in months and months, but boy did he dig his paws in, with that stubborn "I won't!" puppy look on his face. After about 10 minutes, he gave it up. Fortunately the little girl and her mother were very patient. I thanked them profusely and apologetically. This is the dog I'm taking off for his first try at Rally Advanced next weekend? It is. My registration's been confirmed, and I just made ferry reservations: going off on the 6 a.m., coming back on the 2:30. Summer rates are in effect: $88 round-trip. Ouch.
