We placed a new swing under our live oak. The shade is deep, and because we are on a hilltop there is usually a breeze. The view is of rolling hills and cows grazing in green pastures. Usually there is a blue grosbeak singing along a fencerow--sometimes a painted bunting. Nesting birds are in shrubs and trees all around.
I hung a small windchime from a suppport beam, and the soft notes sing in the wind.
Pots of bright impatiens and petunias glow in the shade, and I have added a jasmine and gardenia for scent. Nectar plants for hummingbirds are next.
My husband has his cell phone and business materials on a table next to the swing and is conducting business from there while he trims trees on the fence row.
My wireless laptop seems to be connecting, and I am writing this from my swing many yards from the house---ahhhh--sweet technology.
