Our dryer quit heating this morning and Sears won't be able to come out for 8 days! But before I got hold of friends to use their dryers (thanks, Mrs. S! And also Miss B as backup!), I decided to put some of the clothes out on the line.
Yep, kids, that rope strung across the backyard is not there just to hang up our Scottish flag and Tibetan prayer flags!
I even had clothespins . . . in the arts and craft bucket!
Sis was most interested, helping me hang up the damp clothes.
But, as the line only held about a quarter of that single load, we were grateful to go dry the rest at Mrs. S's house (where the kids were also invited to swim in the interim!).
The clothes came out bright, fresh, and stiff (Miss B helped me take them down, reminiscing not-at-all nostalgically of growing up without a dryer in Maine and hanging laundry out everyday even in winter!) and I bet there will be more clothes on our line before it's all over.
I've been begging Mike for a clothesline for about a year, we have the parts, now we just need to put it up. Don't you love the smell of clothes that have dried outside??
