(991 posts)And since I was the oldest of 5 kids, I did a lot of laundry especially in the summer. Everything was hung outside. Loved how diapers, etc. froze in the winter time. We had to be careful in the summer, though. If the neighbor across the road or my dad were cleaning out the cow or pig barns we might want to wait a day to wash clothes. The stench clung to the clothes something fierce. 🤢 Or when the cottonwood trees were shedding their cotton. That fluff would stick to everything.
Always hung my own kids diapers in the sunshine. 40 years later I still hang most of my clothes outside despite the fact I have a clothes dryer. I use a folding rack on my deck. Crawled into bed last night with sheets and quilt fresh from drying in the sunshine. Bliss! Love the smell and feel. (I know - takes very little to make me happy)
