REALLY??? The smell of campfire makes me sick the next day! LOL Probably because we drink around the campfire and the next day that smokey smell is the LAST thing I want to smell.

I like the ambiance of a campfire, but the smoke gives me headaches. Self medicating prior to the fire helps make an enjoyable evening out. It also helps with the hangover.

I wouldn't trade wet weather here for any other place. We still get rain in july and august, at least an inch I'd have to say. Warm clothes out of the dryer in April with more than half a foot of snow on the ground. Perfect spring weather.

Pollen is really bad out here too. After washing the car, I race to wax it... and will still find a dusting of pollen on it... so have to rinse, dry, and wax each section alone... over night on some weeks and the car turns orange...

Being in Southern Nevada, I can use my generic umbrella Home
depot clothesline at least 10 months out of the year. I wouldn't want the smoke smell, but the incredible sunshine plus wind -- my dearest wish is to convert the whole house to solar power.

Oh, and silkie: the only microparticles I get on my car are from the brooder box in the garage!!

That's very nice!

I love the smell of sunshine and clean breezes on my wash.

We have a lot of rain here, too, but not all year long. And we're very lucky; even though we're 40 or so miles inland from the ocean, even in the summer we get a nice, gentle breeze most afternoons.

Whatever the temperatures, they drop an immediate 5-10 degrees when the breeze kicks up, which is great when it[s over 100. When it stops, they go back up. Clothes dry well in those conditions.

We just string them between trees in the back of the house. We have it set up so that it retracts to one side when not in use.

I had steel posts and 4 lines on my clothesline, but being built out of used pipe and being about 34 years old, it finally collapsed.
Now I have 1 line between 2 trees with a board attached to it reaching the ground, so I can lower it to hang the clothes and raise it up by putting the board further under the line.
Can you say "Redneck"????

I wish I could park in the garage. All 1800 sq feet of it burnt out from the first floor though the second... and then a tree fell on it last winter... and the biomass converter and sun heat collector thing rusted out and so it's all junk now... the car ports are the only usable areas.

Shone a light into the sky tonight... the trees are making love in the dark alright, full of tree pollen being released.

we have a $30 Home depot umbrella one.
I used it the other day when it was 80 and breezy. Clothes dried in less then an hour! I still have to cement the thing into the ground though. Project for this weekend when it is supposed to be hot and humid. I also have an indoor one I got for $17 from IKEA. But the kittens love playing on the clothes when I use that one.
