I have tied a line between two fence posts. Sorta primative, but it works. I can't remember why I haven't done this sooner. At any rate I live in Ca & my cousin in PA both think this is the best idea. Thank you for your pretty pictures & nice blog. Hi,

I am doing a post about them and I was wondering if I could use your picture? I just love the smell of clothes and blankets that have been hanging out doors.

No one has said anything yet. Although it is in our back yard, so I think it should be okay with the neighborhood. So far, so good! No one has said anything yet.

Despite living in Vancouver (rainy -- comparable to Seattle) clothes at his house just seem to get dry either hanging all over the house on chairs and clotheshorses, or just hanging outside on the line in-between rainstorms. My observation is that if you air-dry clothes in Vancouver, you can do so anywhere. I should add that my father is not really an environmentalist: he just hates listening to the sound of the dryer running. Pollution comes in all forms, I suppose, including sound. Okay, and my other dryer story is from when I lived in Palo Alto. Following my father, I learned that using the dryer at all is abnormal, and proceeded to set up a clothesline for myself immediately upon moving to Palo Alto. I'm not sure if it's officially illegal to hang clothes in Palo Alto, as it is in some municipalities, but one of the neighbours did actually complain that it made the neighbourhood look unsightly. Let us know, Jill, if you receive any complaints! My father never uses the dryer.

I have a big love of clotheslines...loved drying our clothes on the balcony when we lived in the islands. I'm so envious of our duplex neighbors who do have clotheslines. Crunchy towels always make me think of my Italian grandmother. She never owned a dryer...ever. And I can remember many years when she was still using a WRINGER washer. What cracked me up about her towels is that after she brought their crunchy selves inside...she ironed them. Who irons their towels?! Maybe it made them less crunchy...
