I have a hammock! The church choir gave me a house warming present: a hammock!
Today while Michael and a friend installed an attic fan and house fan (no A/C for us, this beautiful old house has radiant heat), Alannah and I put up a hammock between two trees. After we were done, she got a book and we read while we gently swayed.
We were under a lovely, relaxing canopy of a mature maple with long, slender branches overhead. The evergreen was to our backs, which is fine since the lower branches are dead (a project for another day - - - cutting down hundreds of dead branches). We can also swing on the hammock and look at the yard and house and gardens. It was so fun to snuggle and cuddle with my usually energetic girl. She's over the flu now, thank goodness.
If the mosquitoes would have left me alone, I would have fallen asleep! I love hammocks!
