Diapers on the Line
Saturday, July 14, 2007
DH scored these metal posts on our local freecycle board. He and a friend cemented them into the ground several weeks ago, but we just got it strung up today. I couldn't wait to get my diaper laundry out there to hang out in the sunshine. I hear so many great things about how the sun bleaches the stains out, sanitizes the dipes, and makes them smell super fresh. It's been a long time since I've hung any kind of laundry out to dry.
I don't know what it is, but I LOVE the look of a clothesline with fabric waving in the breeze on a hot summer day. Maybe it's because I grew up watching smutty soap operas with my mom and grandma. Every. Single. Day. Which means I've seen about a billion maxi-pad, douche, and laundry detergent commercials in my lifetime. Maybe the sight of a clothesline just takes me back to those days. I'm sure I'd get the same warm-fuzzies if I were to see a woman with a flowing white dress walking through a field of wild flowers (a la Summer's Eve ad) Ah...memories.

I love the way it looks too! I think for me it's the Little House On The Prairie of it all.

I always liked hanging diapers on the line. I would usually have to throw them in the dryer for a few minutes to get the stiffness out of them, though. The softest diapers are when they freeze in the winter time.
