They say it's easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission, but I figured I wanted to keep things on the right foot with my landlady. So, one day as I ran into her on my way out of the gate, I asked if she minded if I put up a hammock. She found some weight bearing beams and said that was fine. So I headed off to the artisan shops that line the street just a block from where I live. Best $20 I ever spent. When my back porch was a bit small for the hammock and the leaky porch roof meant it was perpetually wet, my landlady asked the men who were remodeling another of her houses to build me a frame. So now my hammock sits on my front porch, nice and dry. I'm sitting there now (my internet works better out here than indoors) and today there's a nice breeze. I have a beautiful view of the mountains surrounding me and sometimes, if I'm lucky, a humming bird comes and visits.

The hammock life
I'm thankful for naps in my hammock in the sun.
