My hammock chair, hung in a corner of our front porch. There are a couple of reasons why I love sitting there. First and foremost, it usually takes the kids a while to find me, so if they come looking for me, I get a few additional moments of peace ;) It looks out over our flowerbeds, which are an ongoing labor of love. I'll have to do a before and after picture of the beds one day soon.
Tucked away in the chair, gently swinging, I can watch the salamanders sunning themselves on the sidewalk, hear the birds singing in the woods (I saw a glorious pair of red-headed woodpeckers the other day ... the were stunning!), and enjoy the bees buzzing among the flowers. It's my favorite place to retreat to with a book.
Notice that I'm not mentioning enjoying my cup of tea in the hammock chair. Being as graceless as I am, it's quite a challenge to get into the chair, mug in hand, without wearing half of it's contents. Not so fun.
