New Swing

I have been working on my yard every day. My mother-in-law had this swing in her back yard. She is trying to get rid of clutter, so I took it. It's probably about 40 years old. It was covered in rust so I repainted it. The arm supports were rusted through. I added washers and new wood to support the arms. I added new chain and eye hooks. Then a cushion. The chains are suspended from a large branch. That was fun. I attached a rope and water bottle to one end and then kept throwing it over the branches until I caught the right ones. Then I attached the chain to the rope and pulled it over. Not easy. Great exercise!!!! I sat out there yesterday with my book and a glass of wine. Mary was in her pool. Very nice.
