Living in an arid climate is very helpful for drying on the line.
When I lived in Arizona, a load would dry in five minutes on a 110+ F. degree day.
I only hung the sheets and other lightweights out, when I lived in the muggy south.
If I left jeans on the line for more than two hours, eight-legged large furry spiders
sometimes would crawl up the pantlegs.
Indoors with air-conditioning, stuff would be draped over couches and chairs,
and this little invention worked well for some items.
Clothespins are multi-purposeful treasures. They also remind me of my mom,
and grandmother.
My first five years married: We had an old wringer-washer, and multiple lines
strung in the basement. I understand the concept of, 'Laundry Day.'
