We arrived last night at 7PM. !5 minutes to clean. Brought in the few things we brought and we're "on vacation" from the rat race. It's always so relaxing when we're here. love it!
I over-bought at the thrift store.
After having a house full of guests I was feeling a little needy of bedding, so
I bought two flat sheets, 5 pillow cases, and a big ass comforter. Sure they werent expensive, but the comforter is unnecessarily big, not sure I can stuff it into the washing machIne.
I havent dealt with futons before, so
i didnt understand until I looked carefully at it that it has a cover that is washable. The pillows are removable covers. But these pillow are square so none of the excess pillow cases work on them.
I will still have to purchase two pillows.
we will need one of those quality blow up mattresses.
i think the flat sheets will come in handy in any scenario of dust covers or furniture covers-from-dogs, but the excess comforter and pillow cases are bugging me.
When I end up in a situation like that I just donate it back to the thrift store.
You may be right here. This giant comforter is clean. If I let it lie around for months, it will get dusty. As
I said I am not sure I can squeeze it into the washer.
returning it is probably the best solution.
I do also return thngs to the thrifts, donating them of course. But this was expensive. $12.50! Tell me it is ok to lose this money! Haha, just kidding.
Well, I'm so excited! DH dug me a sunflower garden today! The faux log cabin exterior is bland and even a little tacky, but we're not doing anything with it for a while. So I decided to give it a little attitude by lining the back of the house (south-facing) with short and tall sunflowers.
Front of the house is getting new window trim (from white to sea foam) with matching window boxes. DH bought heather because he's always wanted a "wee hoose mang the heather".
I've planted tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, kale, lettuce, basil, rosemary, mint, parsley, and marigolds and morning glories.
So it's all coming together!

Re the heather: Yeah, I know, but DH is adamant. Apparently you need acidic soil and full sun. DH insists I plant it in an area with quite a bit of shade. I don't argue, I do it. I'll let you know what happens.
Re the sunflowers and zinnia: OMG, that is DH/my marriage made in heaven. DH adores zinnias. They are so wild in their different heights and colors. Beautiful garden!
