    Do people still hang their laundry out on clothes lines? That’s how my mom did it when I was little. But now everyone seems to use electric dryers. And here I thought that old-fashion clothes lines were a more green way to do things.

    There is nothing that smells better than clothes dried on the line.

    We use them all the time. We’re trying to use the dryer less. It’s easy to do when it’s broken.

    My mother got her first electric dryer in 1960. Never looked back, neither have I. One of my earliest memories was when Dad was in Korea (1950-51) and we lived in an apartment waiting for him. Clothes freezing on the line. Her (and me ) freezing putting them there, later getting them off. Have NEVER wanted a clothes line.

    I grew up using one. They are way overrated. Haha! Lots of down sides from everything freezing stiff during cold weather to birds using them as a perch. But I do have to admit in spring and summer the clothes did smell fabulous and the wind did seem to soften them. Of course, we had to iron EVERYTHING because Mother Nature has no fluff dry feature! This is a sweet comic today. I love the art with the scarecrows and the wind whipping through the clothes.

    Had mine for 35 years…. finally got rid of it when the stump I had it in began to rot & fall away; but by then I was 69 and thought I was just going to use the dryer. But there is nothing better than stiff jeans that look like they’ve been ironed and climbing in sheets at night that have been dried on the line. :)

    if I still lived on a farm or in a rural area, I would definitely put my clothes on a clothes line. It is hard to put them out in a bigger city, as they have stupid laws (or bad neighbors) making it sound like you were poor for hanging clothes out to dry. I agree with the person above who said something about clothes coming out dirty if you put them out if you lived in the city. The clothes line also became a natural boundary when playing backyard football or wiffleball or some sport.
