Remember
the old rocking chair I bought back in April? Well, I finally got
around to recovering my yard sale bargain with a remnant of denim
fabric. It now coordinates beautifully with the other furniture on
our screened porch. It only took a few tools and a Saturday
afternoon for the whole project.
Naturally,
once I put the newly covered rocker outside, I had to rearrange the
furniture on the porch. And do a little sweeping and cleaning, water
the plants and dust off the tables. But it was a nice way to spend
a pleasantly cool Saturday in August. I was energized, so I got a
lot accomplished both inside and outside the house.
I had a
pretty place to sit with my morning coffee to write this blog post.
Now I'm rockin' on the porch watching the hummingbirds crowd around
our feeders.
Here's a link to a photo of the chair before it was covered.
“There's
something magical about porch swings and rocking chairs.
Time slows
to a crawl, the mind wanders, and a quiet peacefulness arrives.”
