The good old days. My Aunt Lou would also iron the sheets and pillow cases.
I just had my DH put a close line up for me even though we just bought a new close dryer. I like the smell of fresh air on the sheets after being outside.

I remember those times and also the diapers freezing in the winter time. Were stiff as a board and if they didn't freeze dry, I would bring them inside and string a clothsline in the kitchen and rehang them there. There is nothing better than smelling those sheets as you take them off the clothsline.

I grew up in the city and knew the 'proper' days and ways to hang clothes outside but when I had my own city apartment I put the wash out whenever I could and took them in whenever I had the time, sometimes the clothes stayed out overnight! Might have shocked my older women neighbors but it never hurt the clothes.

I would love to have a clothes line and hang clothes out. However, Fairfax County, VA does not allow that. Would save some energy that is for sure. The close line rules are my era and I too remember Mom taking freeze-dried diapers off the line and hanging unmentionables between sheets. Tacky? oh my word, only poor white trash would leave pins on the lines.
