Hanging Clothes Out to Dry

I love the Spring for many reasons, one of them being I can begin hanging our clothes out to dry again.  I love the fresh air.  I love the act of pulling the wet, wrinkled clothes from the basket, shaking them, and attaching them to the line with aged and new wooden clothes pins.  I love the sound of the wind and the birds in the trees.  I love the grass and weeds beneath my feet.  And, I love those fresh, crisp clothes that come down from the line once air dried.

I wondered to myself how much energy and money I saved by doing this task that pleased me so.  A blog on The Simple Dollar answered some of my questions.

We have friends that hang their clothes indoors, close to their wood-burning stove, during the Winter months.  The savings and fun can happen year round!
