How Cold Is Too Cold?
I am completely infatuated with my clothes line. Seriously.
I love the entire process of hanging clothes outside to dry. Hauling the basket of wet clothes out. Shaking out each piece and pinning it to the line. It's all a very peaceful routine for me.
Spare me your talk of bugs, pollen, or how it takes too much time. Say what you will. Heard it. Doesn't change my mind.
I also don't care if my neighbors find it tacky. Unless they want to start helping cover our electric bills, I am not particularly interested in their opinion on the matter.
In fact, only one thing can affect my affection for using my clothesline.
The weather.
Obviously I don't use it when the weather is particularly wet. However, another dilemma has recent had me mentally debating the use of the clothes line.

At this point, I have been putting clothes out if the temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit or above. But I'm wondering if I could go colder on sunny days. Especially if there is a little breeze going to help the process along.

LOVE IT!!!! I wish I could sit in your backyard with a cup of coffee and good conversation while admiring your clothesline. Good for you for doing what brings you peace regardless of what people say!!! :)
