I'm always championing hanging your clothes to dry, but if your clothesline doesn't look as picturesque as this, I don't blame you for avoiding it.

Casa Quickie: Pin in Pairs
If the Spring weather has you using your clothesline again, try this quick trick for making your job faster. Take a few seconds to clothespin your socks together in pairs.

DIY: Upcycled Clothespin Bag
Spring breezes, combined with Spring cleaning, are perfect excuses for abandoning your dryer for a clothesline, don't you think?

Midday Muse: Everyday Art
French photographer JR is known for his political art installations, but that doesn't mean every picture he captures is rife with controversial content. Sometimes, the message is more subtle.

According to Energy Minister Gerry Phillips, Ontario will lift its ban on clotheslines in time for residents to take advantage of warm summer breezes. Various municipal bylaws and contracts with home builders have outlawed the use of clotheslines until now.

For the Fit Traveler: Clothesline
One thing that always bugs me when I am traveling is what to do with my sweaty workout clothes. Most of the time I am not away long enough to have my things laundered (plus I refuse to pay $20 to have my sports bra washed at a hotel).
