Remembering Mom's Clothesline

[csziggy]

4. The problem around here is the pollen

In the spring everything is yellow with pollen. If it doesn't rain, there will be little drifts of pollen everywhere. The clothes would be covered in pollen. I'd never be able to wear the clothes dried outside at that time of year, much less use the linens!

Much of the rest of the year it's too wet for clothes hung outside to dry. They'd just hang there and mold.

My older sister sent this clothesline thing to me but apparently she doesn't remember when Mom had to stop using the clothesline because of her (sister's) allergies.
