Meteorological misdemeanour

Mr. Stormy Winds and Ms. Heavy Rainfall met in our backyard last night and broke Mr. Birch Tree's arm.

Me love canopy swing long time

Here it is, my beautiful canopy swing!



I made it clear to my husband that he'd better get started on assembling it right away in case he wanted to watch the soccer game later in the evening and that not-so-subtle threat seemed to do the trick. It took him somewhat longer to put the swing together than it took Spain to beat Russia, but at around 22:30 h we had a functioning canopy swing in our backyard. Unfortunately it was dark outside by then and making out a dark canopy swing against a dark background on a photo proved to be tough, so I re-took the picture this morning.
Don't you just wanna sit down in it and canopy swing the day away?

Canopy swing countdown

Today we will finally go and buy my canopy swing. When we went to the store last week it was temporarily out of stock, but they said they would get in new ones today. And they better do, because I have been waiting long enough...

I will post a picture as soon as we have put it together, which, knowing us, might mean either October or never.
