hug lenamae

It makes me long for summer! I bet they smelled wonderful!

This is one terrific clothes line! My Mom had one when I was a little girl that stretched across the back yard three lines long, as she often had 24 sheets a day hanging when she used the second floor of her home for tourist. We lived within an hour of the Great Smokey Mountains and Gatlinburg, TN. and tourist would travel for miles to find a place to sleep. These were years before the hotels and interstates. Kay

That is a quick way to wash a load of laundry. Like your umbrella clothes line. The one I had had several rows to dry on and sometimes I would muster up the strength and lift it out of the holder in the ground when we got daily quick rains. Now I realize there should have been an umbrella to cover the clothes line. lol Right now our clothes would freeze dry in the arctic cold wave we have been having.

we just about all have clothes lines like this in Australia ,they are called Hills Hoists ,they have about 5 to 7 rows of lines getting smaller as they go towards the center, They spin in the breeze .I guess we just assume everyone has one, I hardly ever use my dryer ,even in winter I get my washing dry out in the fresh air.

Noah wanted more details on the clothes line. These are a Australian invention a Rotary Clothes Line by Hills Hoist. There are 4 rounds of wire going into the centre at about 15 inches apart. Holds a good size wash. See the handle on the stem, it can be made higher or lower by wiinding this. My BIL had one that was raised by a water tap when he first bought his home. Before this invention we had long wires strung between poles and used a long prop to put it up higher once the washing was hung out. There was a thread on these clothes lines some time back by a cutie but I don't remember which one (another senior moment I think) Shirley

I remember that thread now! They are called Hill's Hoist!

I have stitched this design on sweatshirts, about 4 times now and everyone LOVES it. I got it from Embroidery Supply. http://www.embsupply.com

Don't you just love those senior moments! I once managed to wash my thumb drive with a load of clothes and another time I managed to not see a blue piece of clothes in with the whites. The whites became pale blue.

I just love to see a line of washing. Best way to dry. Don't worry about the senior moment - we all have them!!!

I did that last week: I didn't realise my swimmers (swimming costume) were in the bottom of the washer from earlier in the evening (stripped off there when I got home from the pool) .. I did a big load of towels and then hung them out along with the swimmers .. next morning I went out to get my swimmers .. well. Hrm. Don't wash swimmers with towels lol ... lint! (I washed it off in the pool later that day lol).

I have the same really big Hills Hoist (Sky Dry I think my model is) but as it's so hot here I have a cover over the top of it so my washing doesn't get sun bleached. .. mine was the top of one of those square fold up gazebos, but you can get ready made ones from Bunnings or make your own as my neighbours have done with shadecloth held down with pegs on the outer line - if anyone's interested. It's really windy at night and a lot cooler so I tend to wash and hang out at night and it's dry in the morning, but the shade is there for any time :) xXx

well it least all was clean in one time, hope the colours did not give problems to the white.

ahhhhh thanks for sharing the pic Shirley if we can't have the warmth over here @ least we can "view" you having it................wanna trade for the snow LOL I do! Oh & it's no longer called a senior moment it is a Tropical Moment. I have that on very good authority LOL mine. That way we can pretend we were thinking about a vacation & not chores

Don't feel bad I have done the same thing.

I like Loralie's definifion better - tropical moment! lol
I'll have to remember that! i tell my hubby he's having a gray moment!
We all have one no matter what we call them (mine are blonde moments)!
I always liked being able to hand clothes out, but now in an apartment it's not possible.

Fun Thread. Thanks

Now there's a good old Aussie back yard for you. Ours never was actually 'lawn' but mowed down pasture and so it remains..... an interesting variety of pasture grass and weeds, some areas dry, brown and bare and others tinged with green as some seeds soak up the morning dew and germinate. We have the gum trees, too, separating the back yard from the first paddock, now a back bush garden as we no longer carry stock.
Our first Hills Hoist came to an untimely end not so long ago. It had been weakened years ago when a grandson swung on the corner of it and it collapsed onto the ground, bending the inner shaft. That was fixed but time did its job very well and eventually we needed a new line. The new one is green, smaller, closer lines and looks less robust but it is doing a might job..... I guess that's progress but I was a tad sad to see the old line go.
