Back to Nature



It is good to escape from the hot city and go back to look at nature.
Here a friend's garden on Long Island.



She collects all sorts of things -- including garden furniture........



In due course of time, the said furniture blends in with its surroundings.......


..... as it lives in the woods.



This almost-vanished chair is actually one of a pair of ours.
We were thinking of having it stripped and painted and all sorts of complicated things .
At the moment we are letting it enjoy its ten year country vacation.

  6. Kate: The garden chairs are from Uncle Frank's house in Huntington Station.
    I have nice green linen cushions for them.(in Lori's barn - not the woods!)
