Steam!

August 11, 2018 by NZ Filbruns Leave a Comment

It’s not every day you can actually see your laundry drying before your eyes. I ran outside to grab something, though, and when I glanced at the clothesline I could see a cloud of steam rising. Five minutes later, that effect was gone. In this picture, the haze is steam! It’s a brilliant, sunny day here, now that the morning fog has dissipated. I happen to be home alone for a few hours; Gayle took the boys to Greymouth to watch a friend try out his longline in the ocean at high tide (they’re hoping he catches lots of fish!), and Esther went along to do some shopping. Maybe later today I’ll have time to put together a post about Mr. Diligence’s baptism; for now I’m making granola and soap and working on a batch of beef broth—as well as doing laundry!

      I think I did all right at keeping everything separated! They all turned out well, as far as I can see. They caught one fish and a shark (which had babies inside ready to be born–they let them go!). We’re eating fish tonight, and the man who owns the equipment is coming to eat with us.
