I decided to take on the challenge that Dilling accepted recently here to post a photo of her night stand without cleaning or tidying it first. Thanks to CindyDianne for the challenge.
So here it is. Mid-century modern in style. Like Dilling, I use a battery operated clock. Leftover from my working outside the home days. I now care very little about what time it actually is. I love that it isn't lit unless you want it to be.
I have a picture of my dog with some of his friends in the back of a pickup on the way home from a hike.
As you can see, I'm currently reading the biography of Prince Charles circa 1979. It must have been a disappointment to write the book just before his dating and engagement to Diana but the book is a witty one and I'm enjoying it thus far. I love to read and always have a couple books next to the bed at the ready. Biographies are of particular interest to me. I see in the photo a copy of Raffi's book Child Honouring which is a really great book. I also keep my diary next to the bed. After my kids are asleep it's an easy time for me to catch up on some entries.
You might be wondering what's hanging over the drawer of my night stand. Those are diapers. Even though my son is dry overnight and doesn't wear them in the day I'm super paranoid about soiling the mattress so I kept the diapers next to the bed. Which also explains the flannel sheet folded in half and stretched across the upper half of my bed. Not only is it good protection but it's soft to sleep on as well.
