Who among us didn't grow up with a clothes line in the yard that eminated from one window or another, so if the weather was iffy your Mom didn't have to go outside to hang the stuff out to dry...
Through my early childhood, the washer was a necessity and the dryer was a luxury - nearly every family had a clothesline. I still remember ours. The line in the back of our house stretched from the pole back by the back fence up to my grandfmother's bedroom window.
We had a long, forked, wooden pole that we used to support the middle of the line when laundry hung from it. As kids, we ducked under the line when we ran through the yard or played catch.
