When I was growing up in Phoenix, AZ. in the 1960s, it semed like everyone's backyard Clotheslines were full of freshly washed diapers drying in the Arizona sun.
A lot of moms in our neighborhood were Mormon (LDS Church) and many of them had anywhere from 4 to 8 kids, with some families having 3 kids in diapers at the same time.
I loved seeing and smelling all those fluffy diapers hanging on clotheslines, along with pairs of plastic baby pants and assorted baby outfits. There is something about freshly washed diapers on a clothesline that always makes me smile.
The look, the smell, of diapers swaying in the afternoon breeze.
Anyone else feel the way I do?

Oh I do remember
Wow I do remember when you could not drive by a house without seeing the diapers out...especially on a nice spring day...wow does that bring back memories...not too many use cloth anymore..probable with all the extra care that needs to be given to them and we just want to rush them into the trash can...Rachel...thanks for the memory..

I do not remember this. And to tell you the truth where I live I never see clothes hanging on a line any where.
