2 days till it's March! Spring is on the horizon! Or fall for folks in the Southern hemisphere.
I've been seeing robins, my daffodils are sprouting and one of the tulip varieties I planted last fall has buds sprouting. My neighbor's have a ton of daffodils already blooming. I also spotted a pink dogwood tree in town bursting with pink blossoms.
The weather has been great! My kids have been outside riding their bikes, digging in the sandbox (and dirt
) and sleeping hard.
We have a few nights in the forecast showing the temperatures being close to freezing. But hopefully next week I can uncover my rhubarb too. This will be the 3rd year I've had it so I'm hoping we can harvest and make some PIES!!
What kind of sheets do you prefer to sleep on?
I looooove soft flannel sheets for the winter. Not the scratchy/pilling kind; but soft brushed flannel feels SO good! My Grandma kept those on the beds year round when I was a kid. She always kept the central AC on so they weren't too warm. I recently bought another set because we only had one winter set of sheets. I normally wash and put them right back on the bed; but the day had gotten late and they were still wet; so I put another set on. I was SO cold that night! My feet were freezing.
I wore socks to bed the next night.
Now we have our new sheets and DH says the bed is almost too warm. But it's so soft I don't care.
In the summer we have a couple sets of sheets with sateen type finishes. They are smooth and comfortable. One is the Threshold brand from Target and the other is their Fieldcrest Luxury. Sheets can be so expensive; but I really notice a difference getting a little higher thread count. I've found some on clearance before. I'd rather have 2 sets I love than 4 sets I don't. We have upgraded the size of our bed twice since we got married so we've had to start over with our sheets twice too.
