Raining>>>

[Angelina]

It has been raining continuously for at least 3 weeks in my part of the world. So much rain. Thankfully though, we are seeing at least 2 days without rain. Hopefully I can get some gardening and clothes out to dry. Yes we still dry clothes the old fashioned way, although some have dryers. I like to put my laundry out in the sunshine.

That's a lot of rain. We get a lot of rain here in the Pacific Northwest. I live on a hill so it's really not been a problem for me. Although then I can't really go for walks easily. We're currently getting a week of sun. It's 85F today.

Oh, me too!!! I love a clothesline! I used to have to hang clothes out in the winter, too. It was so cool when there was wind. I'd hang the sheets, the wind would blow them up, and when they cam down , they were frozen!! Just let them stay in the cold and they will eventually dry.

And the scent of the outside on the sheets!! How wonderful they smelled!!!!!

I tried to hang clothes one winter in Wyoming ......Instead of sheets, I brought in 4 x 6 feet of cold hard cloth .....Hung them in the garage and turned the heat on for four hours .....

Miserable. I know what that's like. Can't hang clothes on the line in Australia in the summer. They dry and go hard in 5 minutes. Can't hang them in winter. It rains here too.

How do you dry your clothes in rainy weather? Do you have a rack or something for indoors drying? I used to hang mine on clothes hangers and dangle them from the ceiling fan. That was mostly for the kids' school clothes to dry faster.

Just imagine some countries with arid climates praying for rain so they can have fruits and vegetables

I haven't slept in sun-dried sheets since I was a child, I'd forgotten how great that was!

Much love!

They dry well around the heat pump but I did have this trick when others came to stay during rainy weather. Bungie cords, hung them around the house. You could always find a place to hook them. Then I either used pegs to hang clothes or just hung them on clothes hangar's. Worked well. Kept the windows open etc...

Much love!

Especially if you use Downy fabric softener, I SO love that scent.

Here in Los Angeles we usually get very little rain. Have been in drought for some years. Our "rainy season" is Winter through early Spring. This past season we did get a bit more thankfully.

I always loved rain growing up in Pennsylvania. So funny how I ended up in a dry place!

August 20..news about 'heavy rain' in Southern CA.
"The first tropical storm to enter the region in decades hit Southern California on Sunday,
bringing heavy rain, winds and flash floods to a place typically associated with
palm trees, temperate weather and sunshine."

It may have ended up being a benefit to California, but not Mexico. The winds were only 40mph, and only 25,000 people were without power. They probably got some much needed rain. When I lived there I noticed how dry it gets during the summer months. Live Updates: Hilary's Impact On The West | Weather.com
