Today~with all the modern conveniences~ I wonder if the art of   *hanging out the weekly wash* out on the clothesline  has been lost~
 I certainly hope not ~But  the dryer is  one of the biggest energy eaters there are~ in the household appliences~
   Its amazing because as i can recall being a child at home mom always used to hang the wash out on the line winter and summer~
  
 When the clothing was brought in frozen stiff and mom hung it on a line in the kitchen~~ it had a wonderful fresh smell~  it never seemed to get in the way of anything and didnt seem inconvienent to any one ~
 Nowadays   you really dont often see a wash hanging out to dry~  Probably due to many factors~
 
 One of the things is people do not seem to have the time anymore to hang out the wash~ Also the housing is also so much closer with no real big back yards   to actually build a clothesline~
 
 Another thing with the way society is  it doesnt seem very proper or correct to display the undergarments out in public~\only to wear them~

 On farms or acerages~ people might still hang out blankets or wash but i truly think that it is a dying art~ A thing of the past~
