PROJECT #2 REVEALED!!! Clothes Line...(exciting, I know!)

Okay, the only problem with project #2 is that I don't have an actual photo (got this one online). My camera is doing weird things and isn't charging/turning on. Soooooo, I can't show you all of my wonderful laundry hanging on our clothes line. We have a retractable clothes line which means that one side is screwed into our wood fence on one side of the yard. I pull out the hook when I want to use it and I attach it to a free standing, hanging basket hook (you're supposed to use it for plants, but when we had our litter of puppies over the summer, one of them pulled down the basket, destroying the plant in it...hence, it's not being used currently). I can put the basket hook wherever I want in the yard, making it a short line or a long line. The only downside to using the free standing hook is that when you load up the line with clothes, it gets lower and lower. It's hard to pull it taut. I'm trying to find a permanent place to attach the hook it's supposed to attach to (you're supposed to mount it on a wall), but not having much luck.

Anyway, the new cloth diapers we purchased do really well drying out on the line, getting lots of sun to get rid of any odors.

This reminds me of my grandma (not that I think YOU are a grandma). She always did this and this gives me the warm and fuzzies thinking of her. Ahh, freshly air dried sheets...nice!
