But, it doesn't make me want to use my tumble dryer....the savings outweigh any hassles with the wind any day! I'm wondering if 'pinning' is the same as 'pegging'...must be. I've lived here 20.5 years now, and don't always remember my "Americanese"!

I loved watching her work, and often enjoyed helping her gather up clothing when a wind came up, or rain threatened. <br /><br />Such simple, humble & memorable times.

One of my sisters tells of the time she put the clothes out to dry, then decided to do some yard clean-up and gathered a bunch of waste in the burn pile. Very carefully checking the direction of the wind, she set her fire and lit it - all was well while the dry stuff burnt, then just as the wet grasses caught......the wind shifted - and all that smoke went into her clean clothes!!!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06079854415508985725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-6493490977670942452011-02-23T09:19:01.967-05:002011-02-23T09:19:01.967-05:00What a sight that must have been seeing you chasin...What a sight that must have been seeing you chasing that laundry basket!

Reminds me of this past summer when I visited a historical village where people portray life in the 1890's. I went wearing an old vintage dress that could almost pass for "correct period garb" and was told I could get in free if I would volunteer at one of the houses.CountryDreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054776525714625769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-20603031908341401472011-02-23T09:07:22.981-05:002011-02-23T09:07:22.981-05:00Oh poor you!
