this hammock
has provided us with
years of use
when it came out of storage
i realized it was in need
of a little
t.l.c.
cleaning in a mild bleach
solution
utilizing that kiddie pool
for more than
a doggie swim
letting it soak
to remove gritty dirt
green moldy stuff
and thinking about the next step
color
i had some
BIG
plans for that old hammock
and then I hung it to dry
*footnote*
since then i learned it is best to let
it dry on a flat deck...drive...sidewalk
so it won't stretch out
oops.
ah well...
it looks
in my opinion
fantastic
sure
a color change is more dramatic
and would have made
a much more impressive
blog post
but
natural beauty
works in this area
sometimes you just have
to sit back
and let the
hammock
or
*whatever*
talk to you
and then
listen.
i just can't see a bright blue
where
natural jute should
be.
it doesn't stop there.
as I lie swinging softly on my hammock
it told me
it'd love to have a nice
green patch of grass beneath it
so it's passengerss won't get
dirty toe syndrome
whenever they have a sit.
we compromised.
remember this picture?
look beyond the rit dye...
beyond the rubber gloves...
all the way to the lovely ground cover.
that's right.
clover.
soft
no maintenance
invasive in a good way
loves shade
tolerates sun
and
doesn't need to be mowed
win-win...win-win-win!
it will take some
convincing
but
i'm pretty sure
i can talk hammock into it...
now
where to find clover seed...
happy hammocking!
:)
