  I’ve got a tub that size, just in case, but I haven’t used it for laundry yet. I need a bigger washboard… I like this choice for the theme.

  I do like your choice, Denton! A very “little house in the prairie” photo.

  That’s original. Lovely choice, Denton. I’ve got one of those hanging up in my ‘cave’ – cellar. Fill it with ice for parties and in goes the wine. Long time since it’s seen washing tho. It was here when I bought the house. Pause for thought when we think how hard life was for our forebears – particularly the women!

  This reminds me of my grandmas house when I was a kid.

  Great picture. And yes, laundry is God’s way of teaching mothers the meaning of infinite and eternal.

  Oh, it has that down home country feel to it – just like the village around here. :)

  now why did you have to go and remind me about the laundry?

  BTW the wikipedia entry on roving bridge is a bit spartan – I’d think about editing it myself but I’ve got to sort the washing out now!

  I like this photo. So many various shapes — not just circular. Though those bins, do attract the eye!

  I agree – this is very unique & original interpretation. Very pleasing photograph – maybe cuz it just looks like a home we all wish for.

  because of the tubs, the house almost gets a face. Like 2 big round eyes. Nice!

  What a great choice…and I do like the comment about laundry being circular. It is kind of the way I feel about grocery shopping or cleaning the house…you get it done and then you do it all over again.

  Belated greetings, from Nelson. Thanks for visit and comment!
  While I’m in the bed (I got a cold in the summer…), I was reading this Isaac Asimov’s Complete Robot Stories book. Somehow, the picture just reminds me one… Funny.
