aesthetic or colorful

This idea that laundry is ugly or distasteful is surely a matter of personal preference. I hang my laundry in an area where it is not seen but that is also the best place for sun and has enough room for air circulation.


The upper picture shows that it is in a small clearing surround by trees. The other picture is the line from the house. You will just see it beneath the large banana tree leaves! In front, however, is a perfectly acceptable object for a sub-division - a bright sun unbrella. I purchased this one for selling on a farm market, but it has found itself a spot in the corner of the pool area. I personally find the unbrella over bright and gaudy - and yes it was cheap, too! If the umbrella was on my neighbor's porch where I could see it I would still find it gaudy, but I would not have the right to say they should remove it. Thus it should be with laundry lines, and towels over deckrails etc.
