I enjoy the labor of hauling it outside and the repetitive movements of pinning or unpinning the items. I try to line dry as much of my clothing as I can to save money, but also because I tend to overschedule myself normally and if I plan to line dry everything I usually am forced to devote the whole day to nothing but laundry. That amounts to a surprisingly serene day for me. My husband enjoys helping me haul it outside and also unpinning and hauling it in with me in the late afternoon sunshine!<br /><br />The yellow of the house in the picture above is almost exactly the color of my kitchen. My stepdaughter and her husband painted it for me.Katrinkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12809805272432812002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718905863879655459.post-52794032251387624652012-09-08T23:55:40.021-04:002012-09-08T23:55:40.021-04:00I suppose having the clothes line out that window ...I suppose having the clothes line out that window also keeps you on your toes to keep that window ledge clean so your clean clothes will not get soiled too! :) I remember several women had such lines coming off their top back porch. My mother's lines were in the back yard and she also used the wood poles to keep the lines up in the air and had the frames with the many pins on the sides to stretch the lace curtains and such on to dry. Each wash day after all was dry she brought it back into the house..lines and all! I love your posts...so inspiring.
