Barn Quilt

 A sunny day and the temp is in the 20's.   I washed white sheets and hung them out on the line.  At these temps it's 50/50 if they will dry by nightfall.  If they don't, they'll only need a quick tumble in the dryer to finish the job.  The bigger issue was hanging them out on the line.  I got them out of the washing machine while they were still warm and took them outside.  The trick is to get them hung on the line before 'rigor mortis' sets in (i.e. they freeze).  That's not possible when dealing w/ a bunch of socks/clothes/towels - when not only the fabric but your fingers freeze by the time everything has been pinned up.  Sheets are large and quick to hang.   My only issue this morning was placement.  My phone app said the wind would come out of the north so I put the fitted sheet on the northern most line and the flat on the southern most.  Wind was out of the south and the two sheets blew onto each other.  Not a big problem and I certainly wasn't going to try and rehang them after they were stuck to the line like boards.  My plan was to take them down just before I left for my volunteer stint at the library.  Should take only five minutes or so to remove them and pop them into the dryer (if necessary).  However, I couldn't find my car keys and spent that five minutes looking for them.  I'd have to take the sheets down in the dark after my stint at the library.  I walked out of the library later to find my car covered in snow and more coming down.   Phone weather app said nothing about snow until Sunday.  Fortunately snow isn't like rain.  The sheets were dry - except where they weren't.  What did I learn today?  That I need a better weather app on my phone.
