I remember my grandmother hanging our clothes out when I was little. I still hang clothes out in nice weather from early spring until late fall. I love linens hung outside and I like to save money by NOT running the dryer. My niece came and saw the clothes dryer in the yard and said AUNT MARGIE you dont hang your underwear outside do you...that made me laugh. WIth the way young people dress today(half the time you can see a good bit of their underwear) that they would think it embarrassing for people to see clothes hanging on a line. lol
