“Upon the clothes behind the tenement, That hang like ghosts suspended from the lines, Linking each flat, but to each indifferent, Incongruous and strange the moonlight shines"
Claude McKay
Clothes Lines Hung with Laundry in the Slums of Chicago Photographic Print by Gordon Coster
I want a clothes line!!! My hubby thinks they are in bad taste, I think....you know airing your laundry in public or something like that. There's just nothing like clothes dried in the sunshine....I want a big ole sun bonnet like my Mammaw had and an apron to hold the clothes pins.

clothes, sheets and towels on the line are art. sheer art. pure and simple. there is nothing more beautiful and welcoming than spying sheets snapping in the breeze from the corner of the house. folk art as it's best.
hang in there. :goodjob:

I loves our clothes line too... the n ly thing I didn't like being dried on it was our towels... the line wasn't in the bst place to catch a breze and the towels were always hard and scratchy afterwords!

It was always good taste to put your unmentionables on the inside lines so that the neighbors could not see them all!!! I think when the breeze picked up everyone saw what they were not to see!!!

Hang in there and keep on trying!!!

I haven't had a clothes line since 1976, and I still miss the smell of sheets dried on the line.

I'll have to post a video of Rascal the dog that we have. The clothes wouldn't stand a chance in the back yard with Rascal back there, and I can hear all the neighbors now complaining if we hung our laundry in the front yard...heck what am I saying, it would be stolen, living here in Memphis! :eek:

LOL! We have a large one! The dryer is use sparingly! In the winter my wife has things hanging all over the house!

Have a good week!

i never thought of that before - clothesline as a form of art... but about one scene in Pearl Harbor makes me agree... :)

My oldest daughter has moved into my Mothers home...since Mom passed away...and she is using the clothes line. They have a precious new baby so there are ALWAYS diapers and cute little baby clothes flapping in the breeze....I agree...a work of art!!!

We live in the country so my laundry is hidden from view (mostly). I enjoy hanging out my laundry and find I can finish dirty laundry much faster and cheaper this way. Blankets and sheets are among my favorite! 90% drys outside during the summer, I even wait for sunny days to do my loads....:rolleyes:

I LOVE clothes hung out on the line!! Sure saves on the electric bill too.

Well as they alwasy say in oaters, 'somebody get a rope'

Do you have a couple of well placed trees? Would he have a snit if you went to the hardware store and just bought some rope and strung that sucker up? Does he wear polka dotted briefs? Why don't I have one? So many questions,

@angi1972 -

after they are dried you take the towels and put them in the dryer on the air dry setting and
fluff' them. I do that with my sheets too :)

The one problem with clothes lines - I hate it when my clothes are almost dry and it starts raining. :D

Posted 7/8/2008 11:24 AM by shards_of_beauty - reply

I love the pics you had posted. Thanks, yes, I could

use the prayers, right now. My hubby's been on chemo

so that's why, this is rough. He's supposed to get a bone

marrow transfusion in the future. I have two blogs, when

life is normal. lol. Hugs, R. Hood/Sunsetheart

Mama! we USED to have a clothes line, but i dont think you liked it as much then :)
I remember when Sarah and I used to have to get the clothes off, and we would put them on the trampoline to fold them...you used to scold us for not folding the towels 'properly'! haha. Lesson learned though, because i always fold my towels just the way you taught us. I LOVED that clothes line. When we were in Austria the family we stayed with had a clothes line and it was delightful.
In daddys defense though, didnt you just get a new dryer? And in your defense, who will see the clothes? Since the Harbins have that fence... the UPS and AlumnaPanel drivers?
i love you mom!

Posted 7/9/2008 10:47 AM by S_MT - reply

@S_MT - well, actually I got a new washing machine...and it was about four years ago, but I do love it, front loading and all.....hahaha yes only the ups man and the aluma panel man would see and like firefighterswife said I could always hang unmentionables in the middle...or make everyone go commando :yes: I love you more Anna and I miss you :heartbeat: any plans for the 15th yet?:fun:

Posted 7/9/2008 11:27 AM by mlbncsga - reply

:sunny:OMG I couldn't imagine having a clothes line now! We had one when I was a child and we me, my 2 sisters had to hang them out and bring them in and we also had one of those washing machines that had a wringer on it and man was that hard work! But the fresh smell is an absolute!

Thanks for your prayers I just spoke to Vanessa and she feels that its inner ear trouble she will see the Dr. tomorrow thank goodness!

Have a blessed day.
