Well, I've just put both flannel sheets on the bed today......

only had the top flannel sheet on for the last two weeks, it’s time now for the full force of the weather change. Both flannel sheets, the quilt, and the blanket at the foot of the bed just in case it gets a LOT colder. Anyone else??

on year round. We have an air vent that that blows the air under the blankets.

Flannel sheets won't be happening for several months yet....
Some winters they never come out at all.

With the AC and a ceiling fan it can get cold sleeping in the summer, but I’d rather be cold than hot.

for a little while to drive the chill out. I slept through our first fire. All good though, it had dropped into the 40's. Fall in the northern climate. Lovely.
