15. We used to hang our wash out on the clothesline and then finish them off in

the dryer, if needed. For the past few years, however, we have had to do all of it inside because of chiggers. If I were younger and we could get someone to bushhog the area around our clothesline, I would still use it. I will NOT subject myself to chiggers and ticks at my age.

Oh, and I would dry 1/2 of a big load at a time. Using wool dryer balls helps. Back in the old days, we would throw in a pair of kid's sneakers (back when they were canvas & rubber) to bounce the load around.
