Back in time on a Clothesline

Not everyone will love and accept you for hanging your clothes in your yard. Some will think it is tacky, but I think it's cool. There is a simple, homey feel to it that is actually quite charming. Between every other article of clothing I like to hang one hundred dollar bills to show that I can afford a clothes dryer, but choose not to in order to lessen my carbon foot print. Ellen and Steve were reprimanded by the neighborhood association for their backyard clothesline, so instead they hang theirs in a screened area of their porch. They save money, have fresh smelling laundry and are lessening their carbon foot print, and never worry about the rain!
Save about $25.00 a month on your electric bill with this little trick!

The link listed below shows advantages as well as disadvantages to different types of clotheslines.

You are so cool! We have a clothesline, and I find using it to be very soulful. When I am hanging out my clothes, I am very aware of my surroundings and nature. I try to be really present while I'm hanging clothes. Of course, we live out in the country, so noone complains about our "drawers" hanging out! ~Kelly
