At the beginning of summer George surprised me by hanging a clothesline under out new screen porch. At first I was less than thrilled and made a snarky comment about looking like the Beverly Hillbillies. But I have to say I am now totally hooked!
We have now gone through a whole summer not using the dryer. Well, we do use it, but just on air fluff to take away the stiffness (or as I like to call it the crustiness).
But besides the energy savings there is something wonderfully magical about it. The other day I was outside hanging these sheets. The sun was out and there was a slight breeze and it just felt good on so many levels. It's green, it gets me outside on a beautiful day, the laundry smells fresh and clean, and it forces me to slow down. Normally I dread doing the laundry and I try and do as many loads as I can in one day. But with this method you can only do one load a day. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it made me crazy happy to be out there at that moment. So if you have the space I highly recommend it. Bring it on Granny Moses!
