Step stool helps you ‘hit the hay’

id you know someone invented a self-making bed? It requires special covers and sheets, but with the push of a button, they curl up into the “made” position.

Quite an improvement from the first known bed, 77,000 years ago, when the whole family slept on one thick pile of plants.

This is not a chair. It opens into a set of steps to help you get into a high bed. Stair Galleries offered it at an auction with an estimate of $2,000 to $3,000.

The antique chair step stool can still be found at auctions.

These Federal bird’s-eye maple steps, made in New England, were estimated at $2,000 to $3,000 at a Stair Galleries sale.

The bride is wearing a fab-

ric dress with sleeves and a full-length wide skirt. The groom is in a fabric tuxedo with a narrow collar. Can you suggest a date?

A. In the 17th century,

wedding pie was served in England. It was made with oysters and strange ingredients likes cocks’ combs. The guests had to eat the pie or be thought rude and encouraged bad luck. By the 19th century,

the cake was a status symbol, the larger and taller the cake, the higher the social standing.

Most were made of tiers of fruit cake. Queen Victoria had a white cake that matched her white lace dress in 1840.

Only the rich could afford the refined white sugar needed

for the cake.

But the start of the modern cake was in 1882, at the wedding of Prince Leopold.

It was all edible. Earlier cakes used wooden supports to hold the cake layers and a topper.

Later cake toppers were made SEE ANTIQUES, PAGE F3

The ancient Egyptians had a raised wooden bed with cushions and sheets.

By Roman times, there were low metal beds with feather or straw mattresses. But by the 15th century, beds were important. They were on a frame with four posters high off the floor, so they could use heavy drapes to enclose the bed to keep out cold air and bugs.

Beds were so high that a step stool was needed to climb on top. The mattress was a bag of hay, which probably explains why going to bed was called “hitting the hay.”

Bedrooms also became more important. They were used for meetings. And not only family, but also servants, slept in the room, some under the bed on a mat.

The idea of privacy came by the 18th century, when the bed had a metal frame and a cotton-stuffed mattress and only one or two people slept in it.

The 19th century saw more changes. The posts were lowered, so a step stool wasn’t needed. The footboard was smaller, and the smaller frame held metal box springs.

The 1960s introduced the foam mattress and once again, the bed was easier to get into.

Mix and match your patio furniture Indoors, designers frown upon buying an entire bedroom suite in the same style, color and material. So why do we buy matching sets for the outside? Humphrey suggests pairing vintage metal chairs, say, with an old cooler for a coffee table. “Outdoor furniture is a great category for shopping vintage,” he says. Vintage metal sets are also a good find, he says, because they’ve already withstood the elements for years, so you know they’re durable. (If you can’t find them vintage, he also likes how new retro-looking Coleman coolers at coleman.com can do double-duty in outdoor spaces.) For another sustainable furniture option, Humphrey recommends Loll Designs’s outdoor furniture (lolldesigns.com), made of recycled plastic.

As for outdoor furniture materials, “wood is always my preference,” Blair says. “It lasts a long time and can be restained as needed or painted with exterior paint, extending the life of your furniture, if it starts to look worn.” She recommends covering furniture with a cover when not in use.

When it comes to size, try to buy the biggest furniture you can for the space you have.

Imagine a patio with a sofa big enough for a nap, as opposed to lots of little seats and tables.

“If you have enough room for a love seat and a chair, I would skip it and do as big of a sofa as you can fit,” Humphrey says.

“As with inside, I think you can play with scale; sometimes bigger furniture in smaller spaces is more useful.”

I bring my houseplants back inside,” Blair says.

Decorate the walls “Outdoor art gets a bad rap, because people think about lawn gnomes and flamingos,” Humphrey says, “but try to think outside the box.” He has a vintage barn star on his exterior wall.

Keep your eyes out for pretty ferns, and when you find some to your liking, start checking the undersides of their leaves. Sometime between now and early fall those undersides will be punctuated with brown spots containing spores. Watch out, though, because when spores are ripe the cases split open, sending their dustlike contents all over the place.

When you find fern leaves with plump, firm spore cases on them, you’re in business.

Cut off the leaf, and lay it with the spore cases facing down between a fold of tissue paper. Kept in a dry, airy room, the spore cases will release their spores — not all over the place this time, but right onto the paper. Tap these spores into an envelope and they’re ready to sow, or can be stored for later sowing.

Spores are something like seeds of flowering plants, except that seeds have a full complement of chromosomes, the result of the union of egg and sperm cells each having half a complement of chromosomes. Spores each have only half-complements of chromosomes.

Still, you can sow spores in almost the same way as you do seeds. Start with a seed flat and some potting soil.

The slow-growing spores are easily invaded by other organisms, so thoroughly clean seed flats and then rinse them with 10% bleach solution. Fill the flat with potting soil and firm it in place.

THANK YOU

AMERICA for Another Great Year Team Member Kara, her daughter Naraya and their neighbor Kaylee from the story.

OPEN LETTER TO AMERICA After three months of hearing about “worst case scenarios,” “the new normal,” and listening to Americans criticizing Americans it is refreshing and heartwarming to see all kinds of ordinary citizens coming together to help and inspire one another during a global pandemic.

I came to America for economic reasons and fell in love with a warm, optimistic and loving country that offered hope to a young Irish immigrant. For the last 6 years Yankee has taken out full pages in local newspapers to express my gratitude to a country that has provided me so much, while pointing out what some might not notice, especially during these last few weeks.

For example, a Springfield covid-19 nurse returns home at midnight after a 12 hour shift to see her home in flames. A Yankee Home team member Kara Mainville steps up to take in the nurse’s daughter who lives on her street, who is now temporarily without a home. The community rallies and comes together to help this family rebuild by generously contributing to their Gofundme page.

Americans looking out for Americans.

Then there’s the unstoppable, 85 year old Ruth Willemain continuing to push forward with her dream of building Harmony House, a home where people could live out the last few days of their lives with dignity. Part Mother Theresa, part Clint Eastwood she rallied and inspired the many volunteers at great personal risk. She plowed forward with her handmade purple mask, social distancing all the while. I am incredibly honored to be a part of a truly inspirational person’s dream. The local community volunteering and donating their resources during this crisis is a testament to America.

Cut off from my homeless friend Jake (theJakeStory.com) for 3 months all the while following Philadelphia death tolls and wondering if he made it. Then a collect call, Jake warning me and my wife Anna not to come down. His explanation of what was going on in his hometown, not knowing it was global, warmed my heart, grounded me and made me count my blessings even more.

As Yankee Home has grown over the years we have received many calls and letters from these yearly July 4th pontifications, none more poignant than from Jerry Lucey. Now framed in our office, he wrote an impassioned letter reiterating my views of America. He recalls returning from Vietnam and getting spat on while marching down Tremont Street in Boston. This didn’t stop his love of his country. Nor I guess will a pandemic.

The wonderful board of Harmony House meeting at Yankee all dedicated to Ruth’s mission.

This immigrant’s view of America remains unchanged. While not perfect, this country we call home is still that optimistic, warm and loving place he set foot on decades ago.

Thanks for reading. Thank You America. Happy July 4th, and God bless her as She rebuilds.

Ger Ronan (President)
