Hanging clothes out to dry in the summer is something I like to do, too, but I don't have a clothesline, so I wait until we put up the summer gazebo (canvas) and use the side supports for hanging. That won't happen for a month or so as there is a lot of wind just now. I do love the smell of line dried clothes.

You mentioned hanging clothes out to dry. Near the end of her life my mother complained that hardly anyone used a clothesline anymore.
