Simple Joy

Who says you have to spend a lot of money.


A scrap piece of wood


A hay tie down strap


And a faithful ole Oak tree


Still enjoying the swing my husband & nephew made, I've even seen hubby swinging a time or two. How many of you still love to swing? Besides being meditative, it also cools you down in the heat of the day, great for little work breaks in the shade.

  8. I love it!! We have a swinging lawn sofa under our tree in the yard, but no trees big enough to support a real swing. How delightful and relaxing to close your eyes and just swing your cares away.
