So happy you stopped by for a visit today.
There is just something about enjoying a cup of tea surrounded by nature.
This masterpiece by Darien inspired this outdoor hammock setting last summer. Below are some photos from a lazy afternoon in the summer of 2011, which I shared over at my other blog, last summer.
This truly was a great place to lounge and read and write....
nibbling on fresh fruit and sipping iced-tea....
Can't wait for the champagne grapes to arrive at our local garden market, this year!!!
from the location of this hammock the gardens are not in view ... so I used a Limoges teacup and saucer, topped the teacup with a matching butter dish insert to create a floral frog , added a lily from the garden - and voila ... instead garden treat!
As much as I have enjoyed this hammock setting ...
The extreme heat we have been experiencing this summer has me longing for a hammock near the water, like in this beautiful painting by Wiles. We don't have a large lake like in the painting... but we do have a stream! So I set about finding a place on the property that would be a perfect setting for view of the stream and provide a cool place.
Mr. G. is working on transforming the area between these trees as such a retreat. He has cleared the over grown area between the trees, and set up a temporary hammock (not properly secured yet) to give me an idea of what it will look like. I'm looking forward to the completed project and enjoying the lazy hot summer afternoons of August ... taking tea in nature and looking out to this.....
Thank you for visiting.
