That’s what the sign said….. a “Zero Gravity” chair… and it was just $38, which would lead me to believe it’s probably made out of crap. However, I sat in it… and.. super comfortable. You sorta feel weightless.. I guess that was the point. Felt very sturdy, even. Easy to fold up and take with you! The headrest is easily adjustable too.
So I got two for me and the Mr.
My son and I sat out here this morning, weightless in our zero gravity chairs…… Perhaps for a little stretch of time we were also weightless in other ways as we took in the rolling hay fields, the flowering pots, the water flowing in the fountain, the vegetable plants, the dogs lazing beneath our seats, admiring how very green and full and filled in the backyard now looks as opposed to just a few years ago. We were quiet for a while, and then he said… “you know what I love most about home? Sitting out here is like being on vacation. “
That’s what it’s all about. Your outdoor space is another way to -feather your nest- make your home an oasis, and you know I chirp about that often on this blog. It’s true the size of your budget can determine just how crazy you can or can’t get with the feathers… but as I’ve said before, you can create an oasis, a place of rest, on any budget. Fill your home (and garden!) with things you love. Perennials can be bought cheap as this season winds down, within a few years they double and fill out. Invest in a few decent chairs – lounge, folding, whatever your style.. a few nice pots.. (I found some big ceramics at Ocean State Job lot for $12.00) ..fill them with colorful annuals or herbs or whatever appeals to you. No shade? An umbrella then. It’s so worth the effort to create those inviting spaces. Life is hectic. Make your space to unwind and let it go, don’t be too busy to sit for a spell….and become weightless for just a little.
