I first associate clothesline laundry with a sunny day. <br />I think the clotheslines were also part of the social circles. Some neighbors had their lines strung adjacent along their border, and seemed to have laundry time uncannily coordinated so that they always seemed to hang their clothes at the same time.<br />I can't imagine a covenant against clotheslines. I guess my reply to "Who wants to look at that!" would be be "Who would be offended by that?" <br />With regard to "delicate unmentionables" - well, looking back, stockings and undergarments were hung, and yes, there is a voyeuristic charm...but I don't recall any "sensual lingerie" blowing in the breeze. I guess there must have been an unwritten code of discretion. I'll have to ask my mom where she hung her items that violated code. ;)<br />I am sure there are many personal-regional-cultural sides to this now that I consider it. I suppose the ritual of hanging the futons and bedding each morning in Japan is something that struck me along this same line.<br />Thanks for the thoughts.The Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06962641109795032438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32203051.post-42339723520389252332007-01-11T09:30:00.000-08:002007-01-11T09:30:00.000-08:00Crazy bylaws like that should not be allowed.

I think laundry hanging on the line is a thing of beauty (as your lovely photos illustrate so well!).Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034794313638177847noreply@blogger.com
