All fine and dandy until you drag that line-dried towel across your nuts.

I love the look of a clothesline in front of a lovely old home.
Many folks throughout Newfoundland still do this. It’s kind of a part of their culture. Pretty cool.

I have the clothes line poles in my backyard and have been thinking about running some cables between them. If I don't like to use them for clothes drying I can always grow something on them.

Our clothesline was one of our endzones in backyard football.
Folding them towels was like folding a cardboard box but I love the smell of clothesline sheets.

All fine and dandy until it a rain storm pops up out of nowhere.
You also got those crisp clothes pin marks on your shirts and don’t buy any brightly colored shirts, cause they gonna fade with a quickness.

My mother in law hangs everything. My brother in law complains that the towels he uses to dry off after taking a shower feels like sandpaper on his body.
They have a dryer but stopped using it when their electric bill hit $150. I swear,I've never seen a family so tight with money.

Grandparents still have one. They live in Assumption parish

Most kids in my neighborhood developed quickness pulling clothes from the lines to the crack of thunder.

I can vividly remember the smell and feel of clothes dried on a line in the back yard.
I was a kid in the 50's and a teen in the 60's and during all that time we never had a clothes dryer. Mother Nature did the job.
I can remember my mom putting those stiff wire gizmos in the pants legs of jeans and khaki pants to put the crease in them as they dried. Sheets and pillowcases never smelled fresher and towels never failed to dry you off easily when sun dried.
One of my aunts lived on the 2nd floor of an old mercantile building on Magazine St. back then and had a plastic coated wire line that ran from her back porch to a tall pole in the back yard that had pulleys on it and she'd pin her clothes to it and run them out to dry in the sun and never have to leave her porch.
Her washing machine was one of those round ones on wheels that you rolled to the sink to fill and drain and instead of using centrifugal force to spin the water out the clothes, there was a wringer comprised of 2 rollers that squeezed the water out------the cardinal rule was "Keep your hands away from the rollers".

I loved sleeping on sheets that dried on a clothesline.

When my grandmother was 20 and pregnant with my mom, she was struck by lightning while taking down clothes outside.
Lesson wasn't learned, they were still hanging that shite well after I was born
