A Nice Day is a Laundry Day!

The weather continues to be hot and sunny although the evenings and nights are pleasantly cool. In addition to getting lots of work done in the fields, I have had a chance to catch up on the laundry. On a 75° day with a touch of a breeze it is possible to dry a load of heavy dark clothes on the line about as fast as one can dry them in a tumble dryer—30 to 60 minutes! This load was left on the line most of the afternoon because I had other things to do. One of the nice things about line drying clothes outside is that they have virtually no wrinkles when they are taken down. In more inclement weather the wet laundry gets hung up on the third floor on a collapsible rack and often takes a day and a half to fully dry. I am hoping the good weather continues through Monday so I can get the weekly loads of sheets and towels hung outside.
