Hung out to dry
I love hanging sheets and clothes out on the line to dry. Not in winter! I'm talking about starting in April, on days like today, when it's 60° with a good breeze. This will continue right through until late October, probably.
Saves on my electricity bill
By not using the dryer I can save over $200 on my electric bill. And there's nothing sweeter than clothes dried outside in the sun and wind. I don't do towels outside. That's where I draw the line. No scratchy towels on this bod!
Today is one of those perfect spring days as described above. I hung out my sheets around 8 a.m. and they were dry by noon. I mean dry. I took them in before lunch. Dry!
Condo Associations
One day condo associations will have to allow clothes lines. I wrote a poem about that and I might as well share it with you now that I have mentioned it.
Why Condo Associations Won’t Allow Clotheslines
Blue jeans run in place
stagger, run again
Shirt sleeves wave to all passers-by
the nerve
Socks do a fancy two-step
fit to break an ankle
Bras are filled
seductively shimmy and flounce
Panties do a vigorous hoochy-koochy
exposing lust in the imagination of some beholders
Sheets with a come hither undulation
offer promise
Laundry hung out to dry
on a windy day
Scandalous!
