I think the idea is that they are unattractive, but as for me, I think there's nothing more wonderful than to see a line full of fresh wash hanging out. I hope you enjoy your visit back home.<BR/><BR/>Carla, isn't it cool that your teen daughters are rediscovering the clothesline? I'm impressed! Lucky you that they're doing the washing.<BR/><BR/>Joanne, I am all too familiar with the cold winters and no use of the dryer. Perhaps that's why I like using it so much when I can.<BR/><BR/>Isabella, we find many old homesteads in this area had lilacs which still remain. They've died back a few times, but somehow they regrow. I would think they were planted in the 30's too. I wonder what the history of lilacs is? I may have to look into that.<BR/><BR/>Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments. I enjoy reading each one.<BR/>~JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-46462528211428921992007-07-14T03:41:00.000-06:002007-07-14T03:41:00.000-06:00I love lilacs, they have such a gorgeous scent. Yo...I love lilacs, they have such a gorgeous scent. You tend to find them in the gardens of houses built int he 1930s here, I think it's because there was a song from that time about gathering lilacs. I like your gardening shoes...they look good and comfy!Isabella in the 21st Centuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01477890093845193073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-49957977005657799262007-07-13T06:20:00.000-06:002007-07-13T06:20:00.000-06:00Thanks for the lessons again...so thoughtful!I lov...Thanks for the lessons again...so thoughtful!<BR/>I love my clothesline and feel sad when the warm summer days start fleeting away. I can't hang my laundry out in the winter because of the snow...it becomes inaccessible! But, I am thrilled for the first nice days in Spring and continue to use my clothesline until the winter snows arrive.<BR/>Joanne<BR/>P.S.

But my (teen)girls are now discovering the wonder of clotheslines...and they often trek outside with a basket of wet clothes and hang them up on the line. It's neat to see them doing that.

I miss it terribly but my son planted a butterfly bush that is beautiful to enjoy. We are not allowed to have clotheslines here in Las Vegas and so I miss my old clothesline also. My son and I are going back home for a visit next week (the first time since we moved 6 years ago) so maybe I can visit both the old lilac bush and clothesline. Thanks so much for sharing yours :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
