Reader Guido saw my post from a few days ago about my regret of not seeing laundry fluttering in the breeze to dry anymore. Well, guess what! In Bay Ridge, it still seems to be a common sight. Guido sent me this lovely photo and wrote:
Here's a shot that I took late last summer in Bay Ridge. It reminds me of an Edward Hopper painting.
Too bad that there wasn't some woman leaning out the window reeling in/out the line.
How sad that this sight has become a rarity. One would think that the sound of laundry fluttering in the warm backyard breezes would be a commonplace occurrence in Carroll Gardens. I guess we're too busy nowadays to take the time for this chore.
Or just maybe Winn Discount doesn't sell clothespins anymore.

I can attest that the Winn does sell a variety of clothespins, which I use weekly to airdry my sheets and towels, and they smell like all of the beautiful flowers in my garden......
