Clothesline

 Last year sometime (summer/fall?) we were a Home Depot or maybe it was Lowes (honestly who cares?) looking at bolts or nuts or something when I turned around and found some clothesline wire. Now I had been trying to talk Nick into making me a clothesline for quite awhile, ever since I  married him I guess. So I thought that if we got the wire that would help jump start my line. NOT.   :)

A few weeks ago it started to get really warm outside and got me thinking about a clothesline again. Nick really, really, really doesn't want his clothes dried in the dryer and I was getting really tired of trying to fit a load on to the only rack we have left. (which is going to be needing to be replaced soon if the sagging in one direction gets any worse) I said something about a clothesline to Nick a few times but, since he is working full time and taking some classes this semester, I didn't really expect anything.  For some reason the clothesline would not leave my mind though.

Nick kept bugging me about not using the dryer and "honey the rack is plenty big enough for a load" (yeah, if you drape clothes on top of each other so they take longer to dry!) so when I stumbled upon the clothesline wire in the garage again, I decided to see if I could set it up. I strung it from the end of the porch to the closest tree in the yard.

What do you think?

Its not a long as I would like it to be, but I don't have another obliging tree. I didn't know what to do with the leftover wire so I just kinda looped it around the tree.

I hope that someday I can have a real clothesline that is much longer or at least has more space to hang clothes. I really like hanging my clothes outside now that I have this line. I just wish I had room to hang up two loads at the same time so I don't always feel like I'm playing catch up with my laundry.
