I am dreaming of hammock weather, cool breezes, and the sound of rustling leaves.
When we cleaned out the brush under our cedar tree, Mr. CH had left this sad little leaning tree. He was headed out to finish it off, when I yelled, "Stop! I think we could use that for a hammock."
And so voila. It turned out to be the perfect spot for our hammock. It is too hot to be out there now, but in a few weeks, Lord willing, it will be just the right temperature.
I brought out several pillows to be sure I had enough.
Yes, my bluebells were still blooming then. To see my bluebell fields, click here.
The blanket is in case we get chilled. See, I am thinking ahead.
I also brought along a few books and my lemonade.
Come on Fall weather!!!

I could dream in that hammock all day (if it were about 20 degrees cooler)! It's a beautiful setting with your quilts and flowers!
I hope you will join my first Potpourri Friday party next week!
I agree come on fall! Check out The Lone tater for confessions! Following via Finding New Friends Blog Hop
What a truly cozy spot you've got fixed up there! Now for cooler weather.

That hammock is just aching for cooler weather and someone to lie in it for a spell.
I claim the hammock when I'm out there next (in MUCH cooler temps). It is a lovely setting - looks just like you! Hurry up Fall - it's hot in Texas!
Wow! You definitely have a good eye for perfect spots to relax, as well as, decorate! This hammock looks heavenly! Enjoy!
When it's about 70' or cooler, I'm there! :-)

That hammock looks pretty inviting!
What a beautiful spot to relax, your hammock looks inviting!
I'm jealous! Some family friends used to have a hammock when we were all kids. I have fond memories of swinging in their hammock and/or us kids getting wound up in it or thrown out of it. Since then, I've always wanted a hammock, but have never had a good spot for one. Maybe someday.
With such a cozy, relaxing spot, no wonder you are ready for fall!
This is such a gorgeous setting, makes me want to bask in the sun...
Hi I found you through the Finding New Friends Blog Hop! :) I loooove hammocks and my hubby has one he got in South America! Too bad our new house has zero trees...
This is just beautiful, your photography is lovely. The hammock is so inviting.I hopped over from the feathered nest hop and so happy I did. Hugs!
Wow, that's beautiful! I wish I had a hammock...

What a beautiful setting - I could picture myself there. I'm a new follower from the Finding New Friends weekend blog hop.
Oh my goodness Anita!! This looks AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing on Fancy This Fridays this last week... We FEATURED this lovely today! Hope you'll pop over to check it out and grab a button! http://trulylovelywiththelaneysisters.blogspot.com/2011/08/fancy-this-features-39.html
You've created a setting that whispers 'come, spend some of you time here'....
Beautiful!
And is there anything quite as magical as a hammock tied to trees? I don't think any other setting has the exact same feeling ~ floating and swaying as tho you are a tree-leaf yourself!
I could take my afternoon nap there but would have lemonade and read a magazine first! Just dreamy, Anita!

I'm dreaming of that hammock right now! Swaying in the soft breeze, peaceful and quiet with a good book...then reality hits and the twins jump on me and tip me out. ;)
Girl, that is fantastic. I love how inviting it is. Can't wait for fall weather myself. We have a hammock and love it!

Just perfect! You couldn't wish for a lovelier setting...that little tree was just waiting for you to come. A lovely post.
