Loungers

The teakwood loungers and the Adirondack chairs winter in the barn, but when the angle of light changes and the days get warm we put them out to better enjoy summer evenings.

I had to knock off a liquor store to get some serious folding money when we bought them a few years ago, but the chance of a first offender doing hard time for getting enough money for two nice loungers was a risk I was willing to take.

These loungers are not only comfortable, but they dress up our yard. The only issue is that when company comes "a visiting" it's hard to run them off when it's bed time. They want to sleep in our loungers and admire the stars.

After work this afternoon, I put pine-bark mulch around the blueberries, finished cutting the grass, and put the chickens up just as the sun started dipping low. I stepped into the kitchen and drank a glass of cold water standing at the sink and then drew another glass before going back outside to enjoy the lounger.

I stopped short when I saw the light in the back yard.  Pulling the phone from my pocket, I snapped a few photos. I'd downloaded a few new filters for my computer so I toyed with the image. This filter made it look like a watercolor.  It suited my mood this evening, so I went with it.

  2. I absolutely love this photograph. To me it looks like a Constable painting, especially the sky. Exceptional.

  3. I love the picture and how you made it look like a beautiful English painting..Stephen is right...a Constable painting. Lovely loungers to sit back with a nice drink in hand and a book

  4. You should frame that pic! It's beautiful and so is your yard! Jack pine mulched our blueberries too and we bought two new ones. I hope one day to get enough to make a pie! I hope I live long enough to get enough to bake a pie! Ha! Have a good day!

  5. Were your back in one of those seats, I'd say "There sits a well satisfied man." Can't ask much more than that!

  6. It does look more like a watercolor than a photo. I don't know what a Constable painting is, but I am sure Stephen is correct, He is an expert on all things art. I was thinking Monet, because it is somewhat blury and Monet is one of the few artist names I know.

  7. Those liquor stores come in handy when a person needs loungers for the yard.

  8. I love the water color effect you put on these "liqueur store" Chairs. The company and relaxing you get with them seemed to be worth it.
