If you can put the rack in an outside protected area like a porch, you can also dry clothes in wet weather, it may take longer, you can bring the clothes inside to finish the drying. Elastic lasts a lot longer when not heated in a dryer. So yes, some wood and energy were used to make the drying rack, balanced against the energy you save not using the gas/electric dryer. It's always gonna be a toss up. Marianne wrote: /On a joni related note: What are some earth/ planet loving lyrics that she has written?

LISA: Well, most people ask us why it took ten years to release another Wendy and Lisa album, and I suppose that now by answering that question I have come to understand a little more about the meaning of this record and the experiences that took up that space and blew those pages off the calendar for an entire decade. bWhite Flags of Winter Chimneysb is a Joni Mitchell Lyric from the song bHeijirab. At first I think we were drawn quite simply to the imagery and mood of the words. After letting the idea sink in for a little while (the idea didnbt come up until near the end of the project and then we wrote the title song), I started to connect with a deeper reason that perhaps we had both keyed in to without realizing it. This record contains a lot of reflection on a continued feeling and experience of loss in our lives. Our last album was largely a memorial dedicated to Wendybs brother Jonathan who died in b96. We were incapacitated for a couple of years before we wrote GIRL BROS in b98. As we began to heal and redefine ourselves as survivors, our personal relationship started to suffer great strain and eventually we parted as a couple and started living separately for the first time in 20 years. Less than a year later my brother, David died and that is when I felt that the impossible was becoming the norm. That was in 2004. It was such a horrible blowb&b& Wendy and I, who had been working hard at remaining partners professionally and healing our broken hearts, were now face to face with another tidal wave to dive under. With life throwing such cold and powerful storms our way it was hard not to want to just go to sleep. Like having hypothermia, I just wanted to close my eyes. Funny thing is good things started happening. Professionally Wendy and I were getting great offers and support in the field of scoring, we both met other people and had children, and we both rededicated and pledged to work at keeping the best of ourselves available to each other. Why lose somebody when you donbt have to? We had been a family. Brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers included. This was the Fire that was burning and sending up a White Flag of surrender, a beacon of warmth into the cold. It was acceptance and trust all wrapped up in a beautiful Lyrical Art Imitating Life Imitating Art. The songs we finally got to writing all carry this truth. They are all songs about fighting and accepting. bBeginning at the Endb. It was recorded in a few months in 08. Written and Performed by the two of us, and recorded by our friend and engineer Michael Perfitt. It was made only because we wanted to make it. We have not had a record deal in 15 years? Maybe more. It is Rock, Folk, Psychedelic, Cinematic, Fun and Personal andb& It sounds cool.
