I love using a clothesline to dry my clothes!! So much simpler than the dryer. The ocean breeze, here (even a half-hour from the coast), combined with today's 90+ temps, dried these in less than an hour (minutes, even, for some of the smaller, lighter things!). The whole experience was really pleasant-- Simple, natural, direct, somehow physically and aesthetically pleasing. Just hanging the clothes, smoothing them, adjusting the clothespins, shaking the sheets and letting them billow in the wind, feeling the soft material and then the almost crispness to which they dried, and then folding them and stacking them in an orderly pile of pretty and clean... People have been doing that for hundreds and hundreds of years! (By the way-- see the maple tree with its fall colors on the street?)
