Clothes line Those small sandwiches...

I can remember my grandfather's long johns frozen stiff, standing
beside the wood stove in the dining room to thaw out enough to lay over
the folding wooden clothes rack. Now I've dated myself....Sharon in SW

Don't worry about it, Sharon! I share those memories. (Well, not of
your grandfather's long johns, but you get the idea. g)

...Still hanging my sheets out is great...

That is the way I feel, and just hung out my wash, on a gorgeous July
day. However, I need to vent on two things about laundry, so listen,
sisters:

We had a Kenmore washer for 24 years, so when it was time to get a new
one, Sears was our choice, and we bought another Kenmore. I hate it.
When we were discussing its features with the saleslady ("associate" as
they are called nowadays; in this case I abbreviate it ass.) we asked if
the washer had a lint filter. She assured us there was a built-in filter.

What a lie! First time the machine was serviced, the repairman told and
showed us the 'lint filter' -- four little holes in the drum under the
agitator. This 'Lintmore' machine pumps 80% of the lint right back into
the wash water and onto my clothes. The real filter that used to catch
the lint was replaced by those 4 holes, "to improve economy" said the
repairman. Supposedly a dryer is supposed to remove lint, and most often
the appliances are sold in washer-dryer pairs.

We don't use a clothes dryer because I have always liked the fresh air.
I refuse to believe I am the only one in the USA using clotheslines and
getting 'linted' on everything I wash. I gave up on Consumer Reports
magazine because they didn't tell the truth about lint filters.

The other vent is the clothesline itself. Years ago I won the 'beef of
the week' when I wrote to a local newspaper "though technology has put a
man on the moon, and even let Sally Ride, my clothesline still stretches
and sags..."

Got it off my mind. Any advice?

To keep your clothes line from sagging, use a non-stretch clothes line
material such as Dacron, Kevlar or stainless steel. All rather expensive,
but putting a man on the moon was not cheap either. : )

Tuulia, Washlines do tend to sag a little bit, but I use the connecter
with the two little wheels. I put these between heavy items so the line
comes together again. Must be said I have a very high and very long
washline, so a little bit of a sag does not matter to much.

Consumers reports is a great institution, why not write them about your
observation. I find them most of the time right on the mark.

While I was taking in the wash yesterday.....a roufus humming bird landed
on the line and sat there while I pulled in the wash. Love these little
gifts.... Our hummers are nearly ready to leave on their trek down to
Mexico. The male birds have left already, but the young and female birds
are still here. They often come and bath in the sprinkler while I am
watering the garden. They may be small but certainly are birds with a
great character.....(spelling).
