Ok, just put on both flannel sheets on our bed. Top AND bottom.

Usually only start with one in September and both for sure in October, but sheesh, it’s been quite chilly so I put both on. Still using my Spring/Summer bed spread tho, won’t put on the Fall/Winter quilt until later. Anyone else??

Just couldn't get warm. Yeah, I'll go to hell for it, but at least my feet will be warm.

He's from Wisconsin so CT weather often seems warmer to him than me (native Texan). But we have a new thermostat now and I'm afraid to try and set it.

Just gets so hot.

We will use summer weight until we just get too cold, and then add a comforter.

8. I know, I'm not a big fan really either, usually have one leg and one arm out all year round.

To just use one flannel sheet, instead of both. I might could stand that, on the cold nights. Both my legs are usually out, because my dog seems to like sleeping in my foot space.

get cooler and hopefully, less rain and stuff that we in St. Louis MO have been getting this year (it's been literally a flood this year). If we get a snowfall, that's okay as long as it wasn't the same as the year of the big snow (30+ inches one year).

Fall and Fall Colors, WELCOME!!

in fact the pool was too warm so I left the cover off after my swim today (admittedly the weather has been cooler and I have been keeping the pool covered at night) but we are still having 90+ daytime temps. evenings are nice though.

And a kitteh, I stay pretty toasty. One of my dogs is a total floof ball (Sheltie-ish) the other is a short-haired Catahoula, but they both put out major thermal energy. My kitteh is also a floof and sleeps on my pillow. At some point I need to upgrade to a king-sized bed.
