Ha! LOVE the hammock.

Somehow I don't think you worked hard enough on that job. It looks like some sort of unaproved automation was employed. Also, I note a failure to observe the tradition of piling the leaves up along the road, soaking them in gas and lighting them on fire.
Tsk Tsk

Both excellent observations. Except the part about it not being enough work. The leaf removal was easy. It was setting up the camera on a tripod by the porch, setting off the 10 second timer, and sprinting down the yard and climbing into the hammock and trying to look somewhat relaxed before the shutter released. It took me three times before I perfected the moves sufficiently that legs and arms weren't flying in the air. A closer examination of the after photo will indicate a still less than relaxed pose. But I was too winded to keep trying. Old men should not participate in such physical whimsy.

I like the hammock hanging between the trees instead of using one of those metal hangers. They break! Great job! Where DID the leaves all go?

Ha! You would know something about the cheap flimsy frame that I had. I blew the leaves off with the lawnmower when I mowed the lawn.
