However, your porch is a better idea. Our back yard is filled with birds, which normally is a good thing. But I often end up having to re-wash clothes because of bird poop, especially in the early summer when the mulberry trees have fruit.

Shortly thereafter, she had all the sheets out there drying. (It takes awhile in our yard due to the humidity and lack of sun.) I decided to mow the lawn.<br /><br />Well... when she brough them in, the ends of the sheets were covered in a fine green spray of grass particles! Oops. I learned to coordinate laundry drying and lawn mowing a bit more carefully.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597842813227724770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-78602801792654891782013-08-06T16:03:02.729-04:002013-08-06T16:03:02.729-04:00Faith, there's nothing like the smell of sun-d...Faith, there's nothing like the smell of sun-dried clothes. Even in the winter, sometimes I smell the summer, esp. of sheets tucked way back in. And here, it's so humid, the clothes remain soft.<br /><br />Marcia, isn't it? It's like having a bonus room.

He not only got the pins, but hung a clothesline in our back yard, and got a kiss of gratitude from her.<br />But it was his response to seeing the colorful clothes swaying in the gentle dancing air that stayed with me. "I feel like I'm in Sicily," he said.<br />I'd call it an inexpensive vacation!
