We had some amazing fog and light out here in the cove this morning. I hung Huxley's diapers up to dry and enjoyed the ethereal glow.

Perhaps the first and only time diapers will have an ethereal glow :)
hehee the glow certainly makes diapers look lovely!
how beautiful! makes me want to find room for a clothes line
Your line (and your land) look lovely. I pine for a clothesline, which might be an unusual thing to pine for, but no matter.
so great, astonishing light. i adore a clothesline. we're leaving for the summer, so i haven't put mine up yet - must enjoy my mother's. there's something so beautiful and right about a clothesline. contentment, groundedness.
Looks like a magical place... maybe those are actually forest fairy picnic blankets!!!
There is nothing more beautiful than a line full of washing! Mel x
what a beautiful photo! i too find special joy in hanging laundry outside: the sunshine smell, the way the light hits the clothes, the love invested in this little chore always makes me happy :)
aloha from maui!
Your home is just gorgeous Ashley! I'd love to see a home design book or landscaping book from you. Thanks for keeping me in great ideas. :)
thanks so much for your thoughtful comments, everyone. i tend to only see all of the undone, unfinished projects out here, so it's so refreshing to hear praise about our digs!
