Only Jane

I washed my rain coat and it was still dripping wet after the spin cycle. And if you think about it, that is a good thing, because it is supposed to shed water.

But I couldn't hang it to dry on the laundry room door, letting it drip on my wooden floors. So I thought I would hang it outside on the birch limbs, which I have used before for rare air-dry occasions.

Got outside and saw the tree trimmer had shaved all the limbs up well over my head. But spotted my Kousa Dogwood with a lower branch.

I hung the coat out to dry and headed back in to wash my hands and continue frosting Christmas cookies. Luckily Neil put a window in over the kitchen sink, because I saw my coat swinging wildly in the wind and in danger of dropping to the flower bed below, aka good Maryland dirt.

So I got the package tape and taped the hanger to the tree. It could still swing to help it dry in the wind, but was no longer in danger of swinging right off the branch.
