Supermommy asked about my trellis clothesline, so as I headed out with my basket of laundry to hang, I grabbed the camera as well. Jodie also asked about the vines--they are morning glories. As I hang my laundry each morning, they are at their best!
The posts in the ground are 4x4's and are shiplap joined across the top with a 2x4--all pressure-treated lumber.A sheet of lattice was cut to size and nailed to the inside...
It was a beautiful day for hanging out my new flea market napkins and towels.Next, I head to the barn to feed the cats...
Jessica is waiting anxiously to be let out to graze...
Over at the henhouse, more morning glories climb the fence and nasturiums are overflowing the half-barrel I planted them in. The picture doesn't do them justice; many of the blossoms are hidden inside the foliage...I will definitely be planting many more of them next year--love them!
Thanks for joining me on my morning rounds.
What a pretty clothesline!! It wouldn't have occurred to me to use a trellis. Filing that idea away...

Oh how I love this. How did you get this idea. I want your clotheline. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on the clothes line and what type of vine that is growing up the trellis!!! I can't wait to do something similar in my yard..

It's all so beautiful! I just love the idea of having a trellis with your clothesline -- how very clever!
ReplyDeleteWhat perfect timing, my clothesline posts need repairing. Such an excellent replacement! My husband is already groaning. ;) Helpful hint: have your clothes/linens overlap a smidge & use one clip between each item. The clips go further, which is helpful when you have a large amount of wash. - Leslie
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea, I love adding beauty to function.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day :)

What a lovely morning walk you shared with us! Everything in your neck of the woods is so green and lush. It's quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really great idea for a clothesline. Are you tossing some of the nasturtium blossoms into salads?
ReplyDeleteJody
What a lovely idea! I love morning glories too. Mine are just now starting to vine (a little late this year).

Love your clothes line, great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using a trellis as a clothesline. I can't wait to settle down in the country someday and have my husband make me one!
ReplyDeleteI love your clothesline and had my husband come look at it to make me one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,
