RE: Just Call It Country Living: Day 810: 5 Minute Freewrite: Wednesday: Prompt: backwoods
Those were the good 'ole days, except for the outhouse. I am sure growing up the way you did made you appreciate the little things in life. I used to love to hang wet clothes outside but now, there is too much pollution to do that. I really enjoyed your story. : )
Resident cat here, wishing you well. Here is today's new prompt: https://steemit.com/hive-161155/@mariannewest/day-818-5-minute-freewrite-wednesday-prompt-well

I grew up with a wooden outhouse (with two holes, not one, for double seating!). It's still standing today.
My mom still uses her wringer washer. We both continue to line-dry laundry.
Ahh, progress: for you, All that changed the day the highway came to the country, cutting a path through our family's property. Modernization had arrived. But with it was gone of what I remembered of the backwoods. I hope you can find a place like it again, somewhere. Lovely writing and photos!
Hi @carolkean. Thanks for stopping by. Yes, We had a wringer washer after the scrub board. And I absolutely loved the line dry.
