birthday reflections
Today is our firstborn's birthday. She shares it with my brother. Happy birthday, Amy (and Dave)!
The air is crisp and cool...We've slept with windows open two nights in a row--and for the first time since late spring, the dehumidifier shut itself off after reaching the pre-set level.
Oh! We flipped the mattress over when I made the bed with the air-dried sheets. Should have done THAT a few months ago!
After success with the clothesline yesterday (the shirts dried wrinkle-free), I have just washed a vintage bedspread and will hang it out to dry today.
We may make it a Border's evening later today and, not wanting to change clothes, I've selected this outfit...all purchased at thrift stores over the years. I was inspired to perk up the gray and black with some red touches by an early morning reading of Blogfashion!

Oh, how I love line-dried sheets! Memories of years gone by when we lived in Texas and they'd dry, seemingly in minutes. Too many bugs and birds here in Oregon.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of the cutest outfits from St. V's and I always love the compliments :) Love seeing your treasures from St. V's.
