Hanging Out

What a difference a day makes. Everyone is taking advantage of the sunshine today. Futon look rather flat, don't they? To make the bed more comfortable, pads made of thick cotton or foam are used under them. The pads are usually stiff so they are harder to put over a balcony to air out. Baba (grandmother) places hers in the sun on a chair in the garden. We live upstairs and I don't really want to carry them down the stairs so I put ours next to a sunny window. Big Sister and Little Brother have "up beds".
