Found: a better way to line-dry clothes

“I love hanging my laundry outside to dry when the weather warms up, but clothespins always leave indentations on the shoulders of my shirts. Then one day my neighbor suggested cutting a slit along the side of a pool noodle, sliding it over the clothesline and draping my shirts over it. I tried it and it works great—I get that fresh scent on my clothes without the annoying bumps!” —Wanda Allen, Dalton, NH
