In Nova Scotia I use flannel sheets all summer. The nights are always chilly even during the summer, so in order to keep me cosy, I use flannel sheets. But I do not put flannel sheets on all the other beds which are used by guests. Many people find flannel sheets too warm.
But in Mississippi, I only use flannel sheets when the weather is cold. I have a major decision, here in Mississippi, as to when the time is right to take off the flannel sheets. It was like the changing of the guard. When I switch to regular cotton sheets, I never go back to flannel until the late Fall, when the weather again will be chilly. Before I arrived home to Mississippi, the weather turned hot and I knew my flannel sheets were still on my bed. But I got lucky. The weather turned cold so I kept my flannel sheets on the bed for a couple of weeks.
Portia changes the sheets every Friday and as it was going to be 80, I asked her to use regular cotton sheets. And she laundered and put away the cosy flannel sheets, the ones with snowmen and snow. I love those sheets but I will not see them until I return from Nova Scotia. The guard has changed, finally.
