I admit, I dry most of my laundry in the dryer. Sometimes, though, on a warm, sunny day, I have the time and inclination to hang my clothes on a retractable line I stretch across our backyard. There's something satisfying about seeing laundry drying on a clothesline. Fresh air, sunshine, energy savings, and extra whitening. What's not to love?
How refreshing! There's a certain familiar smell of clothesline clothes that can't be mimicked in a bottle. I miss having a clothesline. It was so fun to play between the dancing sheets when I was a kid. Good times.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. There's something about seeing clothes drying out in the sun. Reminds me of the good old days.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like the fresh smell of laundry that has been dried in the outdoors.
ReplyDeleteYay great job, going green is awesome. My family most of the time hang dry our clothes. Saves on the electric bill ;)
ReplyDeleteI hang my laundry out every weekend to dry it is wonderful (unless it is raining of course)! It reminds me of growing up and watching my mom and aunt hang theirs out...Seeing it blowing in the breeze soaking up the sun and that wonderful smell....nothing much better than that! Love the pic!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but it is relaxing to me - I know that it means work (hanging the clothes and then taking them down and folding) - but it's soothing to watch.
ReplyDeletelovely picture!
I try to use my dryer as little as possible. The sheets and towels always feel better on your skin after a day on a line in the sunshine! xx
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing is bed sheets freshly dried on the line outside. Can't wait until the weather dries up enough to dry sheets :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! I love hanging my washing out and seeing it blow in the breeze :) Maggie xx
ReplyDeleteI like to line dry my laundry as much as possible...and moving south really extended the laundry line season. heehee. except when the neighbors are cleaning thier hen houses...they we all stay indoors. :P

I envy you! Wish we had a yard for a sunny clothesline:)
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of sheets that have been dried on the line.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I am saying this...but I am jealous of your laundry.
ReplyDeleteI love the freshness of line dried. Reminds me of my grandmother hanging
laundry out on the farm.
