Laundry Day

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?

  1. 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.

  2. I completely agree. There's something about seeing clothes drying out in the sun. Reminds me of the good old days.

  4. Yay great job, going green is awesome. My family most of the time hang dry our clothes. Saves on the electric bill ;)

  5. I 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!

  6. I 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.
    lovely picture!

  7. 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

  8. My favorite thing is bed sheets freshly dried on the line outside. Can't wait until the weather dries up enough to dry sheets :)

  13. I can't believe I am saying this...but I am jealous of your laundry.
    I love the freshness of line dried. Reminds me of my grandmother hanging
    laundry out on the farm.
