It's that time of year, when schedules relax and days open out ahead of us.
So, we grabbed the bamboo poles we picked up at the garden center two summers ago (still "tied" together from our last go), spread a blanket under and wrapped a temporary cloth around our frame (a safety pin works fine!). Perfect reading, snacking, drawing, chatting spot! We like to set up nearest the plum tree (yum) and the gardenias (mmmm).
And did I say "temporary"? Three summers may or may not be "temporary." No matter. We're not going for perfect, we're going for doing it.
