60's Clothesline Magic

wind dry
in the sun
clothesline magic
pinned in happy delight
fresh smell

wet blouse
waves gaily
clothesline magic
brave flipping and flopping
wind blown

denium
Heavy jeans
extra pinning
bogging down the wire
bending

clothes line
nostalgia
backyard neighbor
moms pinning together
60’s

I remember those...my Mom loved the scent of air-dried sheets and pillowcases. Those were the days.

The women in my neighborhood would all plan to meet out there at the same time. I remember them laughing and talking from the four lines that were out back together.

My mother grew up in an era where everyone hung their clothes out to dry - I love my dryer but wonder if I'm missing out on something?

You really are; that is when all the women get together and talk about their day, planning to run out there around 9:30 a.m. every morning.
