The Smell is Worth the Task

 I decided to give in and hang some laundry on the clothesline. I love the fresh smell but absolutely do not like the task of putting them out there and bringing them in.

Maybe it's because I had to put boots on and tromp through the snow to do it.

  3. I can't wait to hang out my sheets & blankets. All I have is a little 'umbrella' clothesline but it works!I remember my mom hanging out clothes in the winter. Went to Appleton yesterday....sunny & 59 when we left for (cooler) home.

  10. I LOVE sheets dried on a clothesline. Unless it's on a hot mucky day when we used to live in Iowa and the wind came from a certain direction and the smell from the neighbor's hog confinement buildings drifted our way. Yuch! But under normal circumstances you can't get the fresh smell of line-dried laundry out of a bottle. Feel bad that you still have snow. Ours has been gone for about two weeks now.

  11. Yup, I love hanging clothes outdoors and Love that I can use our deck to do it! We still have snow too which is slowly turning into huge mud puddles much to the children's delight.

  12. I was feeling all nostalgic there for a minute, because one of my favorite smells is clean sheets dried in the sunshine.

    Then I saw the snow...that's just crazy!

    I still love crawling into fresh sun dried sheets though! :)

  14. I cannot believe y'all are still being tortured with snow.....UGH! I hope it warms up for y'all soon!

    Ok, I have a confession....I do not like clothes hung on the line. Seriously, that is the only way my parents dried clothes when I was growing up. I have never liked the smell or the stiffness. I prefer the dyer with a nice smelling dryer sheet. I know, I am weird!

  15. You poor thing! We've had 2 bad winters in a row here. Of course our 2 first winters out in the country. I do not know how you guys do there in WI. Our Phoenix relatives put on jackets when it's in the 60's here, so I guess it's whatever you're used to.

  16. Snow on the ground in mid-April...crazy! Hanging clothes out on the line while there is snow on the ground...really crazy! :-D

    Just wondering...didn't they freeze out there instead of dry?

  17. I do love hanging laundry on the line. I got it from my mom who would hang laundry (including our jeans) all winter long. I swear all she had to do was stand at the back door and whistle at the line and the jeans would walk in themselves after being frozen solid! :)

  18. I wouldn't walk through the snow to do it but I do so enjoy hanging them outside. Especially towels and sheets. The smell is wonderful and no matter how hard they try, I haven't found a fabric softener yet that can duplicate it!
    Love Di ♥
