I love porch swings:), My grandparents had one. They had one of those big high front porchs that faced a busy street. I loved sitting out there on the swing and watch traffic go by. My cousins and I liked to get it going so high we could touch the ceiling with our feet:). I use to sit on that swing for hours, and sing:)

We have one of those swings that are on a stand with a canopy on our patio surrounded by my garden. I sit out there alot in the mornings and evenings watching the hummingbirds.. Altho, I do miss my coffee now out there in the mornings.

I did get Rusty's 15 minutes in today. I slid a like a 2x4 under each end of the cavaletti's to raise them just a bit. You think I'm pushing too much. I just don't see how that little bit of exercise every other day is going to do anything. He is doing it fine, no lock up's.

With nary a thought about what would happen if one or both of the screws pulled out. I wouldn't have either, but it gives me the shakes thinking about it now. I did the same kind of careless things when I got my first horse. I thought nothing about riding him down the side of a busy 4-lane highway, across bridges no less! I've always heard that God looks out for children and fools. I don't know which category I qualified for since I was 20 yrs old, but he was definately looking out for me! ;o) It's a wonder I lived to adulthood. There's no way I'd even THINK about doing that now!

have a very pretty garden to want to sit in! I am glad I will be sitting so high up, cause I wont be able to see the weeds~ LOL
I planted some roses 2 years ago, they are about 5ft high now, even after extensive trimming and they are covered in buds. visitors always comment on how beautiful my roses are, and what is the secret........how can I tell them NEGLET works pretty well for me! LOL
