Electricity isn't cheap in Australia. That's the main reason most people use clotheslines to dry their wash -- especially in the summer when everything dries in a couple of hours. I'm getting pretty good at hanging laundry (Though there's something really funny about lacy underwear hanging on a clothesline). Rounding out my country-fied experience? The chickens.
Sarah has a variety of regular "chooks" (what we would call a chicken) and some special "silkies." The silkies look like Dr. Seuss characters with poofs on their heads and feathers all the way down their legs. I'm partial to Foghorn. He's the big white and black traditional rooster. I am not a fan of Foghorn's early morning cock-a-doodle-dos, but after more than a week, I hardly notice.
