Clothes line

AHHHHH!!!! is there nothing like the smell of towels and sheets that where hung on the line. Reminds me of days with MawMaw hanging out laundry. Learning the proper way to hang shirts so you didn't have funky creases and how to put clothes together to conserve pins. The way the clothes feel and smell as they have hung in the warm sun and flapped in the breeze all day. The stiffness of jeans and the so soft cotton shirts. Brings in a loaded basket and it was truly captured sunshine.

For the longest time growing up we didn't have a dryer and there was no choice you had to hang them out. Even after we got a dryer, clothes on the line was still preferred and didn't take long at all to do. I am so glad of this. So many people now days don't know the joy of Hanging out your clothes. If you have dryer and have space, by all means put one up, even if it's a tiny thing.
Not only will you save energy you get the benefit of great smelling and fresh clothes.

That was one of the many selling points of my home. We have a HUGE clothes line for in town. It can fit up to 6 large loads of clothes at a time. We are going to restring it soon. the wires are a little saggy from years of use, but it will be better then ever soon. I just think it's wonderful that all the old things are coming back in style again. I don't feel like such a hippie (but i have always loved being one)
