Completed Covered Swing!

This is a story about my sweet Dear Husband.  Several years

ago, he started building a swing for us in the back yard.  He

built the frame so the chain would be long for a gentle swing. 

But life and other projects took priority so the swing stayed

unfinished awhile until DH could finish it just like he wanted.

 

Years ago he finished the roof.  He used cedar shingles that 

would weather just so!

And he gave the squirrels a place to sit, but alas, no swing...

We set a garden bench under the roof but it never looked
like it really belonged.  Here is my son walking away. 
No one ever sat on the bench.

 

Then Dear Husband found a craftsman who made beautiful

cedar swings.  Time to finish the covered swing!

 

Of course, Dear Husband had to make an extra trip to the

hardware store to get... extra hardware ...

 

Finally, it is finished and it is wonderful!  I know I will 

enjoy many an evening to come in my swing.  I thought 

about it,  and from start to finish took about nine years.

But so what!  It  was well worth the wait!

Thanks for listening to my story today!  Come swing awhile!

Love,

Lottie
