Line Drying

Line drying on a Monday has never looked so cute.

I've recently added a clothesline to our yard, and I wasn't sure how I would feel about all the extra work you have to put into hanging each individual item on the line, waiting for the items to dry, and then taking each individual item off the line. It seems way easier to throw it all in the dryer and move on with your life.

...there isn't a sense to describe the smell of the clothes swinging in the wind, or even the joy of just taking time to stand outside and hang clothes while you listen to nature.

But, there isn't a sense to describe the smell of the clothes swinging in the wind, or even the joy of just taking time to stand outside and hang clothes while you listen to nature. It's so peaceful, calming, and it even keeps your clothes for longer. If you have to do chores, you might as well make them lovely.
