Summer Oasis

Have you ever wished for a spot to get away to , a place where you can relax , read a book , you know , just kick back ?

The other day I was looking at the other end of my porch , the end where nobody sits , the kind of neglected area.

And I was thinking it would make a good get away spot.

Here is my oasis !

I found the hammock at Walmart in the camping department for $10.00 .

It will hold up to 250 pounds.

In the hardware department I found porch swing hooks that hold over 400 pounds.

That should hold me with no problem.

I figure if I really love it , next year I will get a bigger and better hammock.

So far I love it .

Linking up with Kathleen at Faded Charm for White Wednesday .
