Moving furniture around

I used to love to move the furniture around, but our little unit is so small and everything is just where it has to be, so I had to take the urge outside. :) After my lovely neighbor gave me a garden chair a couple of months ago I placed it snugly under the tree fern.  Nobody sat there, leaves fell all over it, and as the fern got bigger I wondered about where else the chair could go.....  (I put up these "bali" flags for my MIL's 80th birthday and quite like them there - they might stay).   Back to the point - that chair did look a little less than inviting didn't it?

A new rest area in the garden

My neighbour asked me if I wanted her chair, and I jumped at the chance.  we have been trying to hang an old hammock and my hubby spent so long getting it right and then we noticed that the fabric was rotting so gave it up.  This is so much nicer than a hammock! doesnt it just look as though this spot was made for it?  I  thought it looked good jsut off to the side of the pathway. There were some ground orchids in that area and I moved them over to the other side of the path - I wanted some more orchids there so it all worked out very well in in the end. I have scattered my new pots around the area too - the big pot is still empy - not sure what I should put in that one.  So now I have  a new tempting spot to sit and rest.  I tried it out a few times today and it is very comfy - gives me a new angle to survey the garden.
