We hang all our laundry to dry, and have done since our electric dryer broke in the US in 2008. In the US, there were two reasons we didn't run right out to buy a new one. First I'm a penny-pinching tightwad; and second, it was the green thing to do. But here in Lebanon there's a third reason. Line-dried anything smells fantastically good, unbelievably, rapturously so.
This I can not explain. How can it be that the dirt and dust and grime and pigeon dander 'n poop and cigarette ash and pollution and exhaust and whatever else hangs about in the air of this (and any other) city could possibly produce what is likely best smelling laundry I have ever had?
If you find out, let me know. I wonder if it's a mineral (or several) in the water? Nice colors in your pic.
ReplyDeleteNice composition and colors. Well seen and well done!
ReplyDeleteFun picture. Although my daughter is now 22, I well remember the Hello Kitty phase. I have to admit, I kind of like Hello Kitty myself.
ReplyDeleteDo I spot a pink "Hello Kitty" sweater on the clothesline? Can you tell I have 3 young daughters?!
ReplyDeleteNice story to go with this shot - two stories really.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a drier either, but dry everything on a line or a frame. I like the smell and the crackly effect.
The sun just makes up for everything. Nothing better than the smell of sun on clothes.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with Joan. Our Mideast sun must have a special smell.
ReplyDeleteWonder if we will get any of the volcanic ash.
