Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for November 22, 2023

looks like BroomHilda is regular swipping USMC briefs… LOL

Where the sun don’t shine.

It appears that the sagging sock has switched feet from one panel to the next.

You don’t, it’s solar-powered.

Oh boy! :-D

Remember the good old days with capet rods/ cloth lines in the backyards? Where we could climb up and do all things up there? Or just holding on with one hand and running around the thing till we got dizzy? One of ours was great. It stood on the verge of a slope so running around the rod would give an extra momentum to the spinn.

Clothes smell great when they dry outside. Living in Florida, I do this all the time. And they dry really, really FAST.

Dryers only die during rain storms and the winter.

It’s solar powered

Our neighbors still use their outdoor line…when clothes are dried on a windy day, it makes for an interesting sound!

Yet some HOAs ban the clothes line

Sometimes the clothes make a toy for a dog.

Semper Fi, Broomie.

It must be so simple to just have 2 or 3 of the same outfits, just like Gilligan, the Skipper, the Professor and the 4 Cartwright men!

Irwin should be told its a solar powered system

I’m hearing an old song: "Bill Gorgan’s goat are 3 red shirts off the line…..

I grew up on a farm and we had a 30 foot 3 wire line clothes dryer in the back yard made out of steel pipes set in concrete and stainless steel wire. It would hold 4 sets of sheets with pillow cases. I also remember mom wiping the wires off before hanging the clothes as birds like to sit on the wires. We also had those metal frames that went into the legs of the jeans to stretch them so they were wrinkle free…

This would be funny, if it weren’t so true these days.

I’ve yet to get my first dryer. I still hang up the wet ones either on a line in the backyard or over the floor heater in the hall. That saves a lot on the power bill.

Mom’s line went 60ft from the backyard porch to the pear tree.. Sometimes she have me oil the pulleys attached to both.

Sometimes, I wish I had a clothesline.

I remember those days! The sheets were kissed by the sun and whipped dry by the soft breeze!

I kind o’ like the smell of clothes fresh and warm out of the dryer.

And how do you set the temperature?

When she goes to take the things off the line, there will be one sock missing.

During dry, windy summer days, my wife put out some of the more difficult laundry to help speed up drier use.

Ahh Nerwin, so young, so innocent, so ignorant.

I remember Mom using the clothes lines, usually out in the backyard; but if the weather was bad then in the basement….
