My 30 Day Laundry Challenge

Who doesn't LOVE the smell of sheets dried outside in the sun?  Clothes smell and feel so much better when the fresh air runs through them and the sun shines down on them.  I have always wanted a clothes line... I grew up playing amongst the sheets at my Grandma and Grandpa Howard's house, and I have always wanted one, and then... an opportunity presented itself :)

Kyle's Grandpa Ray was a sheet metal worker, and 40 some odd years ago, he made this beautiful clothesline for Grandma Kay.  Since they are moving and since they don't use it anymore, they offered it to me, and I am so glad that they did. 

Today, as I was hanging my latest load of colors on the line, and then my neighbor came outside and I am wondering if he thinks that I am a little "out there"  He came over to the fence that we share and said " that's a beautiful clothesline, I love that you are doing that"  I told him the story about how its been in the family for a long time and I promised that I wouldn't hang any "nitty gritties" on the line for his family to see, but something tells me that they would find it funny, and so would I.... Kyle would be mortified HAHA!

I also have a smaller portable clothes rack that was Grandpa Ray's mom's that he also gave me.  I will reserve that for inside drying on those not-so-nice days... So I am challenging myself to 30 consecutive days without a clothes dryer. I wonder if I can do it?  I wonder how much power I will be sawing??  Either way, I am excited to do it.  It brings out my hippy side a bit. And I am totally going to hang my bras on it... just to watch my dear husband squirm a bit :)
