I love the smell of line dried clothes and there aren't many days that I don't fill my Hills clothes line (best on the market). Our clothes line dry soft because there's always a wind in our hills. The only time that I don't hang out clothes is if the snow is too deep. I only use the dryer if they are a little damp or to dry DH's shirts because if you can grab them out of the dryer barely dry there's few wrinkles and little ironing to do!
