A summer time favorite

One of my favorite things about the summer is crawling into crisp, line dried bedding after a hard days work. There is nothing like the smell of wild chamomile, sage and freshly mowed grass all rolled into one. There isn't a laundry detergent or fabric softner out there that can even begin to mimic that fragrance.
The kids ask me every monday, "Is it sheet washing day? Can you dry them outside, mom?"

I reminisce of my childhood every time I stuff my nose in line dried sheets and garments. My mom was an avid line dryer and passed on the tradition to me. I hope to do the same for my kids.




Not only is line drying good for the environment but it really helps on the electric bill as well!
