The Deck--A Summer Escape



I love my deck, and the privacy it affords me on a warm summer day. The clematis has grown over the deck and up the side of the house this year, creating a lovely screen. The hanging baskets and the planters on the deck add to the effect of a private, cozy room. The Adirondack chairs always look welcoming, especially when adorned with pillows made from vintage fabric enbroidered in lovely old thread. I'll take Thoreau's Journal out there one evening this week and learn more about his Walden escape, where he spent so much of his time writing and thinking. We all need a place of our own to relax and listen to our thoughts.
