Swinging in the breeze

I told myself that I was not going to do housework this weekend but was going to just take it easy, relax, enjoy the perfect CT weather outside and read. After doing errands Sat. morning and having lunch, I put my rope hammock out under the hemlock trees. It is along the side of one of my perennial gardens that borders my driveway. So out I went with my book, ice tea and portable phone. Since I was in the shade and there was a tiny breeze, I needed a cover. I brought out the down throw from the den couch, snuggled up and read and napped. I was outside until 8:00 pm. What a day - perfect.

This morning I did a few things in the house and was back out on my hammock until after 6:00. Repeat of yesterday.

While I was out there today, I saw a nuthatch on the tree where the foot of my hammock was tied and watched him/her go around the tree looking for insects. Then a male yellow finch landed on pink cone flowers in the perennial bed and ate some of the seeds. So peaceful.

I could not have asked for a more relaxing weekend. I'm going to make sure to repeat it before the cold sets in.
