We ripped out the dead petunias and planted mums for autumn. It's time to toss the herbs and winterize the garden boxes. It was definitely a disappointing herb and vegetable year.
I've spent a lot of time this week (wasted a lot of time?) trying to figure out what winter bedding we want for the new bed. It's a king, so our queen blankets and comforter won't work. I don't like heavy comforters. I also don't like most of the comforters I see. Ugly designs, or too light colored for our bedroom. I'm not getting new carpet/re-painting. We're keeping the cream/white carpet and seaside sand paint color. All the light/pale colored things are not right. The gray/black/brown ones are ugly & boring. I didn't want plain. We don't like floral prints. I don't want striped because our summer bedspread is striped. Do we want goose/duck/down or not? And then buy a duvet cover? Or just stick with a comforter? Do we need flannel sheets? Split king sheets are proving difficult to find. We have one set of sheets and they're too cool for winter. We need a new blanket and I want what we have but size king but of course we got it 8-9 years ago so we can't find it now. How can this seem so darn difficult?!
It's just a giant time suck doing all the research and getting overwhelmed/frustrated. Such problems, right? I should be glad/grateful I have a bed under a non-leaky roof in a heated house. And I am. I realize I sound stupid being annoyed by bedding that doesn't satisfy my idea of what I want.
