The View from the Hammock

The hammock that the boys

gave me for Mother's Day

was such a huge hit that we

put another one up in the backyard.

It's just the right size for Koen

to curl up in there with me.

I love the seeing his little legs

interlaced with mine.

 

A canopy of green leaves shimmers

up above while I lazily swing back and forth.

The boys often climb in the other hammock.

I simply turn my head to see them snuggling in it.

Sometimes it's peaceful but most of the time

it's all shouting and fisticuffs.

Oh...life with boys is hardly ever quiet.

Any stolen moment of peace is a gift.

What I love most about the view

is that I can just lay there and watch the boys play.

It's the ultimate refuge after a long day.

I can see the entire yard from that vantage point.

If you ever can't find me around the house

it's because I'm sprawled out and taking a load off.

I love the view from the hammock.
