Laundry Day

Laundry Day

Watching the ladies doing laundry always makes me so thankful for washers in Kenya and back home in America. The ladies are always taking pride in whatever they are doing. Whether it's cooking a meal for the family, chopping firewood, or washing the laundry. I am also so amazed at how they can get the clothes so clean. I guess I have not perfected the art of hand-washing. I find it difficult and tedious. 

They do about 2 or 3 wash cycles and one rinse cycle. Then hang the clothes up on the line or along a fence dripping wet.

Usually the pigs are nearby I think they like to drink the soapy water. And you always have to watch out for the goats- they will eat your bar of soap!
