I have been craving some outdoor living space. I _need_ to be out of the house! I know that I will be stuck in there more than I wish once School starts, and as much as I love snow sports- sometimes you just have to stay in.
So today I went garage sale-ing. I didn't have a particular plan in mind. I was more looking for books shelves and such. I went to one because it advertised that it was a daycare closing- lots of kids stuff.
I found a temporary dresser for Nora, a lovey doll toy, and some outdoor truck toys for Nora. I also found a free-standing hammock! For $8!!! Holy Cow! I asked if it folded up and could I get it in my car? Yes! I comes apart into 4 pieces! Sweet!
So when I got home I realized I had little to no shade. The tree in the back yard is great once the afternoon hits, but for morning and noon the backyard bakes. So I positioned the hammock under my clothes line, ran a cross line from the other little house to a 7 foot fence and strung up an old sheet! I also used some wire milk crates for "end" tables for lemonade and books. I covered my "tables" with pillowcases that I slit up the side to fit. Check it out!

You sure are one creative farmgirl. Enjoy the hammock. Nora will have such fond memories of her and her mommie.

Oh, look at how happy Sky Dog is! I'm so glad you have a wonderful outdoor space. It really does look so comfy and inviting. Fun to know how quick and rewarding your mission for a romantic outdoor space was! :) So happy that it is cooler, and I bet Nora loves it too! :)
We make a difference. |

Thanks Ladies! It is perfect! It's been pretty toasty here and I just mist the sheet and it lowers the temperature by about 10 degrees for about half an hour or more. It's so nice! I have spent all afternoon out here- even running an extension cord out so I could talk with you all!

Sure thing Heather! I'll make a fresh jar of ice cold lemonade and some sweet tea and we can just kick back and watch Nora and Charlie play!
