Sometimes Monday ...


... is finally dry enough to hang out some laundry!


Monday was almost always laundry day for my grandmother, and she was also a big proponent of hanging laundry on the line to dry. (I don't think she even had a dryer.) So now I'm wondering what she did if it rained on Monday. She was a formidable enough person that perhaps Mother Nature didn't dare rain on Monday (at least near Cleveland).


I'm hoping that it doesn't rain tomorrow, as there is plenty more laundry in the form of sheets and towels to do. Maybe you can arrange another good drying day for me tomorrow, G'ma?

    I hope your laundry is quickly done -- and quickly dried. OUTSIDE. Preferrably in sunshine. XO

    There is nothing better than line-dried laundry! Enjoy Bonny! Wishing you loads (haha) of sunshine. :-)

    I think there should be a special weather "umbrella" for everyone who hangs out their laundry to dry. ...or maybe there was in your grandmother's day ... and now it's gone?! I'm glad you found a bit of it today!

    Oh that T shaped laundry pole takes me back to my Grandparents' home and yard. They had lines stretched between two of those poles. Here's hoping your Gran can arrange another dry day.

    There's nothing like a good drying day! The smell of sheets dried on the lawn is one of my favorites!

    There are few things I enjoy as much as having a clothesline and hanging things out to dry!

    I grew up hanging laundry on the line. My mother always hung the sheets on the line even if she used the dryer for other items. I have no room to hang clothes, but if I did, I would hang the sheets just for the scent.

    I honestly have only ever dried anything on a line when I was away at summer camp -- we've just never had enough space at our city houses! But I'm sure that laundry must smell incredible after hanging in the spring air.

    When we lived in Michigan I would hang laundry but since we lived in PA that habit phased out due to allergies. I miss it though. It was meditative hanging the laundry.
