    Default Going to be

    Putting my first line of clothes out to dry for this year tomorrow. The weather is suppose to be sunny and +14 c. So Should be a good day on clothes. Was not able to put any out until now, our snow litterally just finished melting over the past few days and it was just not nice or warm enough for it. So Im glad to finally be about to put some out.

    Today I do have Robyns dance suit hung out to dry because it cannot go in the dryer.

    Its so nice to have some NICE weather!!

    Don't you just love the smell of clothes dried outside?

    I have the option of hanging clothes to dry on lines in the basement or an umbrella clothesline outside, so I've got things covered all year round. Before we put lines in the basement, I had a few lines in the garage to use on our rediculously windy days, but I like the basement much better. Now we can do the laundry in the evening while we watch TV and hubby and I can quickly get it hung (clothes pins are one-size-fits-all) and I take it down the next day!

    I used ours for only the second time today. I was warm and windy. No fabric softener or dryer sheet can duplicate the smell.

    I LOVE my clothes line and refuse to use the dryer in the summer. I just wait until it stops raining and then hang them out!

    i used mine for the first time ever!! (we have lived her almost 2 years) It is so funny, because when we first moved in, the elderly lady who lived her before us had lines in the back yard, and in the basement, and I took them all down! I had to go buy new lines and pins! She is probably getting the last laugh!! But I will say my sheets are nice and stiff, and smell wonderful. I will be putting more out tomorrow. HAVE FUN!!

    I'll celebrate with you. We took the plastic down off of the long side of our deck porch today and that is the side I strung my renters clothes line. I will be putting it to use Sunday.

    I was able to get two loads done, might have been able to do to the third one but I didn't chance it. So its a good start, hopefully the weather continues to be nice and we can continue to put more and more clothes on the line. I really need to get my hydro bill LOWER so this is a good step in the right direction.

    Love the way it makes clothes smell. But isn't it also wonderful how it makes the closet smell. Just walking in there after clothes have been hung outside is like a little ray of sunshine.

    I want too today but it very damp out and looks like rain might be coming. ughhh
    I did get to use it 3x last week.
    I love my clothesline and deffently the smell of outside is priceless. Our heat and lights are included in rent but I still put laundry outside when I can. ds12 pretty soon i wont for his clothes and bedddings because of allergies and rag weed once it starts growing again.
