I tried to use a clothesline, but it turns out it's a mistake to do that in the Seattle area.

Then I tried doing some sort of drying gizmo in the laundry room. My clothes were dry, but as rough as sand paper, especially the towels.

So, as environmentally friendly as I would like to be, I opted for towels that feel more like towels, and less like sandpaper.

They still are in our family. But I'm not sure what you mean. 😅 Sun dried clothes and bed sheets are as hard as a stone slab. The delicates always go to the shade for this reason.

It was the only kind I wore for the first 15 years of my life. Every house had a clothesline in the back yard. I remember my mom sometimes rushing to get the clothes inside as a thunderstorm approached. Then have to go hang them out again.

Not only that she handmade my shirts until about the 3rd grade. I'm sure I looked pretty goofy.

My mom always hung our clothes out. I miss that and I miss her.

I still do during summer months, as lmuch as possible.

And it was solar powered....but you have to spend 10 minutes and a little muscle energy to hang the clothes and it's problematic if the weather is not suitable.

Good memory.

Hmm, I always remember clothes line clothes being stiff at first, but they sure smelled nice.

I still do sheets and pillow cases that way. Nothing like the smell of a fresh bed.

If I was to rely on the sun to dry my clothes, I'd have no clean clothes for 9 months of the year 😂

That is the original "woke" solar power ....alternative energy.......that Republicans hate. lol
