Well ... Mine isn't exactly "in the yard. I have the one up front on the
mailbox; and the one in back on a fencepost. ;-}
Still, some rules of such "communities" suck.

I don't miss clotheslines at ALL, at all.
Personally, instead of coming out "outside fresh and soft", I remember all too
well clothesline-hung clothing being hard, stiff, and not smelling all that
sweet. The tumble-dry of a modern dryer (to me) is a wonderful thing. Just
don't leave them in the dryer for long after they're finished.
I won't even mention Oregon Climate and what soggy wet week after week did when
the only dryer you had was a clothesline; so you hung them up in the house ....
Well, OK, I did anyway. ;-}
