Peeling off the layers

One way I can tell that spring is coming is that I’ve started peeling the layers of warmth off the bed.
At the depth of the cold of winter, I had 5 layers keeping me warm each night: flannel sheets, a blanket, an electric blanket, a comforter, and an afghan.
Two nights ago, I took the afghan off. Last night, I took the blanket off. Soon the sheets will no longer be flannel, the electric blanket will be gone, and the comforter will change over to a summer-weight bedspread.
It’s so nice to sleep at a comfortable temperature without all the weight of warmth on me. I think there’s a metaphor in there somewhere …
