We bought a free-standing umbrella-style clothesline a couple of years ago when the dryer stopped working. It has become a source of pleasure to take the time to hang out the clothes in the backyard, and especially to bring them in smelling so deliciously of fresh air. I’ve learned how to fold big sheets (edges up, pinned to parallel lines)so they don’t drag on the ground. I amuse myself by putting big contour sheets over the top of the clothesline, stretching the corners of the sheets over the lines four “arms,” which makes it look like the clothesline is wearing a big shower cap. Ah the simple pleasures!
Occasionally, it is true, we have to bring in laundry when it is still slightly damp and hang it around the house overnight, but I hope to set up an indoor line in the basement so we can do laundry when the weather is wet.
