Garden grotto
71/365 Not really a grotto so much as a bit of garden behind my garage. I'd like to suggest that I spend long swaths of time out here reading and sipping tea, but until a week ago it was way too hot and buggy to spend any time here doing anything other than swatting mosquitoes and cursing. And today, even though it looks as though I was reading, I was actually knitting. Probably should have been pulling weeds...

As beautiful as this is I now have a vision of you sitting there sweating with your fly swatter cursing away....I'll try to shake that image and enjoy the rather peaceful one I am actually seeing here :) Lovely!

This is lovely. You could put this on a travel poster and have people pay you to hang out in your garden! (Maybe rethink the text if you do so.)

Thanks for the kind comments!
I'd rake it in if I also charged them per
swear word. Great business model!
