I just returned from my morning walk around the lake, ok, halfway around with a stop for a croissant and hot tea at Rustica, and back. What can I say about the weather? Well, here at our house, we call wind that cold, "bite-y". Keep walking and your face goes so numb you don't notice as much.
Easter Sunday found the snow melting in the brittle sunshine, leaving the ground a still sodden mess. It's gonna be a while before any planting can commence. So what to do? Throw a giveaway,what else!?
The lovely folks at Serenity Health and Home Decor have generously offered to sponsor a giveaway at The Garden Buzz this month. I've chosen a Mayan Double Hammock as the prize, hoping that we will soon have hot hammock-relaxing weather soon. I can't think of a better way to unwind than swaying in the backyard to the tune of songbirds in the sunshine.
Here's their description of the hammock and a photo, it retails at $47.99
"A fun way to relax on your porch, in your backyard, or even when you're camping. Bright, multi-colored hammocks, they are handwoven from a cotton material making the hammock bed soft as well as extremely comfortable. The hammock ends are composed of a nylon material to make it tough when hanging and fitting the hammock with durability, so you can enjoy it for years to come.
Each hammock is handwoven by native Mayan craftsmen in Central America. Though given a working design, the sizes and color patterns may vary due to the individual's artistic expression."
To enter send an email or leave a comment below. To avoid spammers I have to ask that you leave a short note telling me how you relax in your garden. The giveaway runs from April 2 through April 9. I'll choose one winner at random and notify the lucky person immediately. The hammock will ship directly from Serenity Health and Home. (If I haven't heard back from that person within 7 days, I'll choose an alternate winner).
Good luck everyone!
