A line of wash can be a beautiful thing. At the moment it is also a luxury. My former washing lines went down along with the young peach orchard when the septic sustem had to be replaced last Thanksgiving.

What I have is three wash boards, three drying racks and a bunch of plastic clothes hangers. I need to scrub at least one if not more bathtubs-worth of dirty farm clothes most days. The racks can't really do the job, in or out, especially in this cycle of wet weather. I've been doing it this way for nearly ten years. I had a wringer washer for about 1 1/2 years, but it died.

A dryer would be heaven. I can't imagine a washing machine. :)
