my mother hanging laundry on the
clothesline during my childhood.
“You know, we have all the things a dryer can give us right in the backyard: plenty of warmth, clean and fresh air, and lots of branches to hang clothes on,” I said.
“And it would help with the rising electric bill,” noted Tom.
And so it began:
After the wash cycle, we decorated
the maples with damp blue jeans, shirts, socks and towels. In fact, there was a secret pleasure in hanging laundry outdoors. It was the perfect excuse to get up from the computer. While checking on the laundry in the backyard, I could listen to squirrels talking in trees, observe a family of wild turkeys by the road. I'd return to my desk, refreshed.
And, except for the sandpaper texture (质地)
of sundried bath towels, the drying method was a complete success. But as autumn approached,
I'd evaluate the day's drying potential. One morning I saw rain clouds ready to burst. I had a load of wet clothes in my arms and no place to put them.
I called my husband. Together we hung laundry throughout the house. Then my husband gave me a hug and a smile. “I think it's time to buy a dryer,” he said. “Like today.”
“Good idea,” I said, just as the rain was on the way.
