Clothesline Time is Coming
Even though it will be great clothes drying weather - warm and windy - on Saturday, my laundry day, I have to work! So I will wait for the next opportunity to get out my clothesline and turn off my dryer. In this neck of the woods, I'm the only one who is hanging out my clothes in the back yard, but today I found this Website, Laundry List, for reinforcement. It's hard to believe that it's against the law in some neighborhoods to hang your laundry outside!

Thanks for the link to Laundry List!
ReplyDeletelove your blog!
Yup--our deed restricts our having a clothesline. SO, I hang out the cloth diapers on the deck rails instead :)
ReplyDeleteAnother reason to hang clothes: creates good memories with your children--I loved hanging out clothes with my mom next to the lilac bushes!
Clothesline law states that if you put things out on the line and then go to work. It will rain.
ReplyDeleteI love putting clothes out on the line - even bath towels. Is it me or do line dried bath towels - though scratchy, dry your body better.
Good for Audrey!
ReplyDeleteIn our town, you can put clothes out on the line, but the clothes line itself must not be a permanent fixture. Hence, a lot of my neighbors have umbrella style clothes hangers that they can remove once their laundry is dry. I use drying racks, both for indoor (by the fireplace) and outdoors. No laws are broken, heee heee.
ReplyDeleteWill have to take a look at your new place to see what might work there!
ReplyDeleteDo you think that perhaps with the economy the way it is, some of the STUPID no clothes line restrictions will be put in the can? Do people think they look too (hushed tone) working class?
ReplyDeletePeggy, you are absolutely right. I had it explained to me yesterday that if there were no community restrictions governing the appearance of homes in a community, the property values would soon go down. People who have homes on golf courses, for instance, don't want to see someone's sheets as they view the foursome on the back nine.
ReplyDeleteFor the rest of us, I want to make sure that there are NO such restrictions wherever I live. On the other hand, I don't want people to park old cars to rust in front of their house on my block either. So what's the answer? I'm just glad I can string some clotheslines temporarily (and regularly) in my back yard!
