That time of year has arrived. Give your clothes dryer a rest and pull out those clothespins because it's time to hang out the laundry. Hanging your laundry outside to dry means you will NOT be using your clothes dryer, which are notorious for their energy-gulping ability. They are typically the second-biggest electricity-using appliance after the refrigerator, costing about $85 to operate annually.
Believe it or not there is an official day to commemorate the practice: National Hang Out Day. But don't wait until April 19th since an early spring is upon us here in Maine and that sun is shining warm and bright, a perfect combination for drying clothes outside.
There is no reason for laundry hanging to be a mundane chore when you can become a stylin' laundry hanger-outer and wear a clothespin apron. With an apron designed for easy clothespin access, they will be forever handy and in one place when you hang and then take down your sun-dried, sweet smelling laundry.
So be green and, while you're at it, buy a clothespin apron and be good looking.
