What a glorious Fall day! Just a note to say I am still enamored with hanging clothes on the line instead of using the dryer. This day is quite "blustery" to quote Winnie the Pooh making it perfect for hanging sheets and big towels. There is enough wind to snap the sheets as they blow. I thought the thrill might waiver once the new had worn off of my simple life habit of getting back to basics by hanging the clothes out, but it has not! I can also say with great delight, my light bills have dropped considerably!! Yes, the air rarely comes on anymore but not running that dryer makes a difference that thrills me.
PRO's: Less noise pollution, less energy used, no more bending over to get the clothes. I get more fresh air. The clothes get folded or hung as they come off the line. The hounds love having me outside with them. Fresh feel of the things dried outside.
CON's: Occasionally something needs to be ironed. Rainy days (what few we have) hamper laundry days. Failure to plan ahead can bring inconvenient consequences.
All in all, this leg of the journey to living a simple life has been rewarding. It really is no more trouble and the benefits far outweigh any inconveniences. I highly recommend it!!
