Leave Them Flapping in the Breeze

Wednesday June 24, 2009

The state of the economy has found many folks deciding to leave the dryer cool and head outside to hang up clothes. Those of us of a certain age remember clotheslines well and how to properly hang clothes to lessen wrinkles and help them dry quickly. The younger among us may have no clue. One member of our forum sent her teenager outside to hang clothes only to find them sagging and falling to the ground. So, teach the young ones well - don't leave them flapping in the breeze!

Hanging clothes outside not only saves money but you get the freshest smelling clothes without having to add things to the wash.

There is nothing like sleeping on sheet hung outside to dry.

You cannot duplicate that smell!
