It's summertime and my reading is easy. School is out forever, my kids are working real grown up jobs, and things have slowed down around my house. The gardens are all planted, mostly weeded, and all that rain is doing a great job of keeping them watered. So it's time to kick back and relax.
Even on a sunny hot day the hammock is in shade - beckoning. I grab some cold lemonade to stick in the hammock webbing, maybe the cell phone so I can make calls if I wish, some really bad for you but delicious junk food (crunchy cheese curls or gum drops are a good choice), a book or two and disappear out back. No watch, no house phone (they can call back), and deny all dirty laundry, piles and dust. This is my time.
Truly, all this happens only a few times over the course of the summer but when it does I have no guilt, no problem ignoring the rest of the world and I always wonder why I don't do this more often.
