Most things, if you give them a good shake before you hang them out, are fine. I've always had a clothesline, and it seems so so wrong to use the dryer on a sunny day. I'm surprised to read in the comments before mine that no one seems to use a clothesline anymore. I notice a good 'drying day', like yesterday, with sun and a breeze, and will check to see if I have enough to put in a load.<br />And oh, your mom is so young and skinny and cute!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-68053578620121990772014-04-23T09:13:16.779-05:002014-04-23T09:13:16.779-05:00I too miss being able to dry clothes outside on a ...I too miss being able to dry clothes outside on a line. There is nothing better than the smell of sheets line dried in the sun and wind. Our modern dryers are wonderful but who can even tell when the sheets and pillowcases are clean because they don't have that nice fresh outside smell! The old days weren't all bad! I do remember a wash freezing on the line but that was OK too. They unbent after being in the house a while.<br /><br />Shirley H.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14808886522199455996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-65235858453166025012014-04-23T09:03:13.295-05:002014-04-23T09:03:13.295-05:00I love that old photo of your mom! so precious! ...I love that old photo of your mom! so precious!
