I’ve been focused on getting the herbies settled, and getting the gardens in shape this spring, and realized that I had forgotten to do the Spring organization INSIDE the house.
\nIt used to be, in times before air conditioning, and when houses were huge and had staff to manage them, that curtains and rugs were changed for the hot months, and the furniture might be covered with lighter weight slip covers. They used lighter colors and lighter fabrics in an effort to cool the house down. I don’t go that far, but we do change to a different set of table linens, and the curtains and throw rugs are washed.
\nI’d like to point out that I’m done with most of that, but what I haven’t gotten to is the change of wardrobe. I store off season clothes in huge plastic bins in the basement. Last night, DH schlepped the bins upstairs for me, so one of my chores in the next couple of days is the changing of the guard…..er wardrobe.
\nI take my mother to an exercise class three mornings a week. I had on long jersey pants and a long sleeved T-shirt yesterday, and I thought I was going to melt! Of course, tomorrow, the high for the day is supposed to be 63, so I’ll have to leave a few warm things in the closet.
\nAnd….I’m testing the air conditioning today! So, maybe I need to keep a sweater, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
