Hang it out to dry!

It's time again for Gift of Green's Clothesline Challenge! This is what started my obsession with line drying last year. I'm looking forward to getting started again this year. It's been chilly, but I've totally been shown up by a neighbor in the back of us. They have been hanging wash outside when it's nearly freezing out. I need to get to it. I've committed to line drying 9 out of 10 loads of laundry which is Advanced in the challenge. Hopefully this will also help me get back on top of laundry.

If you want to join in the challenge head on over to Gift of Green and sign up in the comments by clicking this nifty little button...

I SO need to get a line up. I could do this too (Not sure about 9/10 loads but definitely some!)

Rock on girlfriend...Sam's just started carrying the compost things again and I'm begging Big J to get one. He's being a turd though. I honestly just wanna use my little white table top compost garbage can thing again...LOL! :)

Devon said...

you are a brave woman to be hanging anything up outside with all of this pollen!! :)

Looks great, Kelli! And I love your percentage sidebar - Today was rainy here - not an auspicious start!! :)

I'm definitely going to give this a try. Unfortunately we have rain today, and the pollen count has been quite high, so I'm unsure how well I'll do, but I love the concept. Thanks.

How are you doing on your challenge? I got me a really nice clothes drying rack so now I air dry all of my laundry no matter what the weather is like outside. I can simply move my rack to the sunshine, over a registar or under a ceiling fan.
Saves $ and the environment. Definantly a win-win situation.
