Just takes longer. I live in Missouri so your hands would get really cold hanging wet clothes!<br /><br />Now I am spoiled but I think since I need to cut back in some areas, drying a couple loads a week would help!Bonnie@Creative Decoratinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539828540957021075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-67017774095766845422012-09-26T07:06:21.229-07:002012-09-26T07:06:21.229-07:00I grew up using a clothesline and loved to play un...I grew up using a clothesline and loved to play under the sheets and blankets that would be hung across two lines to make a sort of tent...very fond memories! There really is something to be said for clothing dried in the sunshine and we could certainly use the savings! Even if I just did this occasionally, it would be a big help for our family of 7!

I dont own one and never will, but then again I live where I get clothes washed, dried and put away in the same day. Similar climate to Italy I think.<br /><br />I love nice fresh smelling clothes straight from the line. I also enjoy hanging out and taking off the clothes so long as I am not rushed. If the weather is nice, I stand out there and fold as I removed clothes from the line. This saves on ironing. I have learned not to buy too many clothes that need ironing, thats another waste of electricity.<br /><br />I love seeing picures of peoples washing hanging on the line...strange I know lol!<br /><br />xxTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-56312806261775731212012-09-25T10:42:47.329-07:002012-09-25T10:42:47.329-07:00Oh it's been so many years since I've had ...Oh it's been so many years since I've had diapers on the line!

It sure can take time though, especially if it starts raining every time you hang clothes out. Yet there is something relaxing about it. I'm currently without washer or dryer, both broke and my friend has been saving the day letting me use hers. I miss doing laundry at home and hanging my laundry out. But you are right, a back up dryer is quite a blessing!<br />LizLiz @ Quirky Vistashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619479131117781394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073376604975931926.post-68876270013012379952012-09-24T11:57:12.909-07:002012-09-24T11:57:12.909-07:00I can seriously smell the freshness from here...ev...I can seriously smell the freshness from here...even with a sinus infection.
