Love the pictures!
My mom always hung laundry out when weather permitted, but also had a dryer.
I have wonderful childhood memories of laundry days!
She had both pulley lines between the house and a telephone pole in the back yard, as well as a couple of different styles of free-standing ones over the years.
We don't have them at our house now, although I from time to time entertain the idea of putting some up.
I do have allergies though, and I have read that I should therefore never hang laundry outside.
