It's nice to see the kids doing what we have always done.

We also do a combo thing with the clotheline and drier. Drier is finicky and sometimes it doesn't spin correctly and you have to hang them because they are absolutely sodden. Was just saying yesterday maybe we ought to hang a laundry line in the barn. We got into a discussion of freezing clothes on the line (freeze dried laundry!) because we went to pick up a puppy on an Amish farm and it was below zero and their clothes were hanging outside and frozen. So does it thaw out dry? If so, sign me up.
Wait, what?? Did you say "PUPPY?"
