I use my clothesline all the time! In fact, hanging clothes on the line is my favourite household "chore". I just love having my 100 foot line filled with clothes, as I sit reading in a lawnchair with a glass of wine. I can smell, see, and hear the clothes dry, and I can think to myself "I sure did get a lot of work done today!" And I don't hide my undies - the 80 + man next door gets his little thrill, or so he says. When I see him working in his garden, I always think that I should hang out all of my most naughty items, to fill the line and see if he says anything. We have had some good laughs, and he and his wife have gotten used to me hanging clothes out any day of the week. I work on Mondays!
I use it almost year-round. I really love hanging out the quilts and blankets on cold, sunny winter days to air them out. They sure smell nice, like snow, when we settle in.
My mom always wanted a nice long clothesline, but my dad always thought they looked "tacky", so he installed one of those whirly ones that spins in the wind. Well, one windy day, ideal for laundry, my mom got hit in the head by one of its bars when it spun in the wind. I will never forget her tearing that thing out of the ground, and bending it into a ball. She was in a blind rage, which I almost never saw. She even muttered swear words! She said to me "Wait until your father gets home." It was shortly after that that she got a proper clothesline.
I can't imagine not having a line.
