Just hung the sheets out, but it made the whole house smell good! Used the paths my dog created in the snow to get to my clothesline last Saturday.

Or actually, on a more practical note -- my clothesline is on the fence in my side yard, plus I live in a town where most houses never tore theirs down. I have to admit that I like that my clothesline is relatively private, but on the other hand, like flying my American flag on holidays despite some of my lefty friends' disapproval, I think we do need to let our undies fly in the wind as a sign that we're not going to remain tethered to the power companies.

I'm already sure they look at my 15 year old car, garden raised beds and me watering outside with containers of saved running water to get it hot and think we are white trash or just plain crazy.

How much better to throw the garbage onto the compost, or to pin the clean sheet on the line with a gray-brown wooden clothes pin! -- Jane Kenyon The Clothes Pin

How much better it is
to carry wood to the fire
than to moan about your life.
How much better
to throw the garbage
onto the compost, or to pin the clean
sheet on the line
with a gray-brown wooden clothes pin!

– Jane Kenyon

Is this a recent picture? Don't you usually have a lot more snow than that at this point? Anyway, I was just saying to my wife how much I enjoy drying clothes on the clothes rack, inside. I really think I'll put in a clothes line this spring. Where’s the snow?! Is this a recent picture? Don’t you usually have a lot more snow than that at this point?
