Talk about grinning-I still do it all-that same way, except for ironing, I iron as I go. And the smell, heady, huh? Especilly when you crawl into bed with fresh linens off the line. With the hot weather we're having, clothes dry in 20 minutes. I rub it in to DH all the time about the grief he gave me when I insisted on clothes lines when we bought the house. Our solar dryer is free! Thanks for the list and reinforcement of a good, green thing.
