Aww, there’s nothing better than the smell of sheets hung out on the line to dry! I happen to have a huge rosemary bush that I hang the pillowcases over and they take on just the tiniest hint of rosemary. As soon as the weather starts to warm up just a bit, I’ll be hangin’ the clothes out. I love the fact that I’m saving on the electricity bill, helping the environment and prolonging the life of my clothes. I read a great tip the other day….hang your shirts on plastic hangers, then put the hangers on the clothesline. You can fit more clothes on the line and taking them down and putting them away is much quicker. Jeans and towels hung out to dry will become quite stiff but if you put them in the dryer for just a bit they will soften up again. Another great tip…if you have the type of clothesline like me where you are stringing it across the yard, take it down when you are done. My son literally “clotheslined” himself one year when I forgot to take it down. Poor kid, I’ve never forgotten since!.
