Summer LaundryJuly 09, 2010 First sign of summer was that yesterday there were no free washers when I arrived at the laundromat, at 8:20. So I went back this morning. Summer laundry weighs less than winter laundry, but it takes up more space on the line. In winter I might wear the same shirt for several days, the same socks for a week. In the sultry weather we've been having, the idea of putting anything back on once I've taken it off is too disgusting to contemplate. So nearly all of my sleeveless Ts and tank tops -- a dozen or so -- were out there, and most of my shorts, including the khaki pair I just got from L.L. Bean. I wanted something less scruffy than cutoffs and less baggy than the knee-length shorts from Deva, and these are just right. I only hung out one pair of long pants, and those were considerably lighter than jeans. Only four regular T-shirts -- it's been sleeveless weather for sure. Looking like malamutes in a pack of Chihuahuas were two fleece vests that I hadn't got around to putting away for the summer. Now they're clean, dry, and hanging in the closet. The air was almost as saturated as the inside of a washer on rinse cycle, and the lack of breeze left even the lightest fabrics hanging limp, so it took nearly all day for the clothes to dry. Still, dry they did, and now my bureau drawers are stuffed with clean undies, socks, tanks, and shorts. Let the summer continue! |
