House Held Up by TreesFrom Pulitzer Prize winning poet Ted Kooser and rising talent Jon Klassen comes a poignant tale of loss, change, and nature's quiet triumph. When the house was new, not a single tree remained on its perfect lawn to give shade from the sun. The children in the house trailed the scent of wild trees to neighboring lots, where thick bushes offered up secret places to play. When the children grew up and moved away, their father, alone in the house,
From Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Ted Kooser and rising talent Jon Klassen comes a poignant tale of loss, change, and nature's quiet triumph. When the house was new, not a single tree remained on its perfect lawn to give shade from the sun. The children in the house trailed the scent of wild trees to neighboring lots, where thick bushes offered up secret places to play. When the children grew up and moved away, their father, alone in the house, continued his battle against blowing seeds, plucking out sprouting trees. Until one day the father, too, moved away, and as the empty house began its decline, the trees began their approach. At once wistful and exhilarating, this lovely, lyrical story evokes the inexorable passage of time -- and the awe-inspiring power of nature to lift us up.Binding Type: Hardcover

Soft and fluffy after a wash & dry
Color: 02 Ashley Blue, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70"), Color: 02 Ashley Blue, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70")
Perfect, lightweight and warm. I got this for a chaise that I use. It’s not thick, but enough to keep you warm and cozy if you’re just reading and relaxing. I washed it and dried it as soon as I took it out of the box. It fluffed out perfectly, so don’t be fooled by the flattened squishy blanket that arrives. It doesn’t shed, which is a bonus.

High Quality Comfort!
Color: 01 Sage Green, Size: Queen (90" X 90")
This is definitely one of the most comfortable blankets I have ever owned. The material is thick, soft, warm, durable, and resistant to shedding & fibers breaking off. All of these favorable qualities work together to create optimal sleep conditions, and I would say it protects against cold temperatures in the environment (natural air & A/C, for example) very well. It is SO extremely cozy!!! It has become a comfort item of sorts, as well. It fits my Queen-sized bed absolutely perfectly. I've been searching for a blanket to fit my entire bed, and this blanket most definitely is the one.
When this blanket is nearby, it's nap time!
I love the the slightly raised texture of this blanket's material, and the checkered pattern adds a subtle, yet stylish touch to its overall appearance.

Loving my Bedsure Blanket
Color: Cream, Size: King (108" X 90")
I love this blanket. It’s for summer use & is the perfect weight. I feel both cozy and cool! Plus color & size are as shown. I washed it immediately and it was easy & came out soft; no shrinkage or shedding in the dryer.

Very soft. Light Blue is more of a sky blue
Color: Light Blue, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70")
Very soft, pretty thin, and a little stretchy. Overall, it looks nice. I would say it's a little thin for the colder weather, but great for the warmer months. I got the light blue, and it is a little more sky blue than true baby blue. I wish it were a true blue, but it's close enough that I'll keep it rather than go through the return process. I washed it, and little fuzzies came free, but nothing too alarming for a first wash. Hopefully, it doesn't do that every time. With how thin it is, there'll be nothing left eventually.

Super soft and warm.. Perfect for a quick nap or as a blanket on your bed. Warm but not heavy, so perfect weight and comfort. I ordered the green and color is true to picture. So happy I have it for these rainy days to grab a quick nap,
