If it is a white item I do not reverse it, the sun is a GREAT natural bleach for all those nasty Chili stains that you do not have up there:) I leave the pins outside like you:) Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09128988712981230283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988604188424962877.post-87774618503696872652013-09-22T18:34:46.043-04:002013-09-22T18:34:46.043-04:00Tee hee! cute post!

Between neighbors stinky burning leaves, Their dogs, Ours dogs, "sticky fingers", and the South's scorching sun that literally bakes your clothes stiff and scratchy, I'll just have to pay a little extra. But Love the part about Grandpa ;-)JoAnn SweetPepperRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812580810403376392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988604188424962877.post-62572909704030428202013-09-20T14:14:07.861-04:002013-09-20T14:14:07.861-04:00An interesting post today that also brought back l...An interesting post today that also brought back lots of memories for me. Where I currently live, it is against our covenants to even have a clothesline in your yard, let alone have clothes blowing in the breeze. My Mom taught us kids to hang the laundry out when we were tall enough to reach the line. She always had a cute, especially made, "bag" with a bent wire at the top to hold the clothespins. The wire slid along the line as you hung the clothes, and then we returned the clothespins to the bag and stored it on a nail in the laundry room. One of the reasons Mom never left the pins out on the line was because she always ran a damp cloth along the wire before hanging the clothes up. It was amazing to see the "gunk" that came off that wire in a weeks time. My Mother was raised in the years of the Depression, so she was always taught to "Waste not, want not". Yes, clothespins are cheap, but I think I'll be on your Mother's side on this one.

I shall soon find out :)Lindachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17307042289297886569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988604188424962877.post-77126037650707148702013-09-20T00:47:57.092-04:002013-09-20T00:47:57.092-04:00loved your cute post, I think my mom folded the cl...loved your cute post, I think my mom folded the cloth over then put the clothes pin because she said if you clipped it to the edge of the clothes it would pull the cloth and make it misshapen and we always hated our shirts with the pointy edges...lol...what fun memories....I always loved the same kind of clothes line as you, cause you could put it up and down too...come on over for a visit, I would love to see what you think of the goulie houseguests...PhyllisPhyllis @Around the Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06518514759461027787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988604188424962877.post-58586120523706108822013-09-19T23:14:13.349-04:002013-09-19T23:14:13.349-04:00I leave my clothes pins out.

However, I had a friend that said you take them in so they don't get dirty.<br /><br />I hang my clothing over the line.<br /><br />I also hang my pants by the waist while I know some hang them by their legs.<br /><br />Renegadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06163174457617218700noreply@blogger.com
