I hang wash out all year except if it's really frigid or snowing. Nothing like laundry dried outside. The smell is delicious!

Quick everybody move to Australia .... here you would be shunned if you used the clothes dryer. Just the cost of running it is enough to make me hang clothes outside and if its wet I have a camping clothesline that looks like a miniature full size clothes line that I can set up inside the house.

Hahahaha you're right!!! Too funny :D

When we moved the last time I told our real estate agent not to take me to any neighborhoods that don't allow clotheslines haha I'm sure she thought I was crazy!
She laughed and said not to worry. I'm the only one in my neighborhood who has one but my neighbors on either side said it doesn't bother them at all, in fact they like it :D
It reminds people of simpler times I guess, that's what they said :)

There's a wonderful old, sturdy 4-line clothes line 30 feet from the cottage I live in here in the country. But it's too high for me to reach up with my frozen right shoulder; I can't get the pins and the clothes on at the same time with one hand, so sad. :cry:

I watch my young neighbor hang out wash every weekend with envy.

In the winter I dry a lot of turtle necks in the house to raise the humidity, moving that darn rack from side to side to get around it; finally figured out to wash clothes at the end of the day and let them dry overnight; sometimes changing a habit takes a while! :?
