My Space

My favorite place to read is in a hammock under the trees in my backyard. As a child, I loved to read while lying in the grass under the trees. It is a wonderful memory to think back on. Just like then, my backyard hammock allows me to be alone with my thoughts. Sometimes my dog Zane is with me, but he never says much. My husband is an indoor person so I know I won't be interrupted too. There are always a lot of birds singing to each other above me and I find it comforting rather than annoying, as their chatter sounds friendly. I always read using my Kindle because I can adjust the brightness of the pages and the size of the font. Unfortunately, I am getting older so this is now needed. When I read good books I find there are passages that make me stop and think and my hammock is a good place to close my eyes and ponder over what I just read. I admit that sometimes come close to falling asleep. I believe my backyard hammock is my favorite reading place because it is very peaceful and I find a lot of peace in books. I feel that books help me understand more about the world, the good things and the bad, and I am always looking for more understanding.
