I suddenly had a plan.After the wash cycle,we covered the maples with damp blue jeans,shirts,socks and towels.The only things that didn’t go outside were my underpants.And I persuaded my shameless husband to let his big boxer shorts(男式平角短裤)stay indoors,too.

　　There is a secret pleasure to hanging laundry outdoors.It is the perfect excuse to get up from the computer.While checking on the laundry in the backyard,I could commune(亲近)not only with cotton T-shirts,but also my cats.I could watch cautious deer run through the yard with their young,listen to nervous squirrels in trees and observe a family of wild turkeys by the road.I returned to my desk refreshed.

　　And,except for the sandpaper feel of sun-dried bath towels,the drying method was a complete success.When autumn came,I’d scan the horizon each day to evaluate the chances of sun-drying.One morning I saw rain clouds.I had a load of wet clothes in my arms and no place to put them.

　　I found 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 infamous Oregon rain started.

　　Our sun-dried laundry habit was finished for the season.

　　1.Why did the author want to try sun-drying?

　　a.Her husband insisted.
