The Answer, My Friend

On the Line

I live in a suburban neighborhood where things like this are not allowed.  Can you imagine? 

I'm going to get one anyway, and when the police come to arrest me for drying my laundry in the most wonderful way, maybe one of you can bail me out.

Then...I'll come home and hang out my towels and thumb my nose at the man.

'cause I'm a rebel, like that.

  2. I KNOW! Ridiculous, really, this American obsession with creating perfect suburban neighborhoods. What's wrong with laundry drying on the line?

    And I would LOVE to bring my washing to you, Ronell...maybe the sun in France would dry my clothes better than the sun here...

  3. I've blogged before about how I miss seeing clothes drying on the clothesline. It is totally ridiculous to make rules against something that has monetary, environmental and aesthetic value. I think the sight of towels whipping in the wind is beautiful.

  4. It took me a moment to see what this was. The colors and composition are beautiful, painterly. You can tell that to the cops as they drag you away!

  5. My clothesline will be up tomorrow. It is a collapsible one, so maybe I'll be able to fly under the radar with it!

    And thanks, Dan...let's just hope that the cops have a painterly aesthetic...

    :D

  7. Thanks, Linda! Does that bail out only apply to laundry, or can I count on you in other situations, too?

    :D
