Doing Nothing! by happypat

Doing Nothing!

A day in the garden, not working I might add just sitting & reading my book.
I am reading The Catcher in the Rye.....I am ashamed to say it's the first time I've read it although I have a selection of well loved books in all the bedrooms thinking guests can dip in & out of them while they are staying.
Enjoying it very much & the first proper book I have read for must be about two years, as opposed to my Kindle I mean!

A lovely warm day so although I have ironing to do I chose to sit & do nothing!

Three good things:
1. A lazy day doing nothing much!
2. New potatoes with butter.
3. Reading , one of my greatest pleasures!
Good for you! I well deserved day off I am sure

Your day would be a perfect day for me too and it's always better to sit and do nothing rather than ironing! Nice collage!

I have been thinking of reading this too - so many books so little time! I have two books packed for my holiday on Thursday.
June 18th, 2013  
Such a pretty setting to enjoy a good book.
June 18th, 2013  
Sounds like a good idea - I must take a leaf out of your book. Pardon the pun. Trouble is I just can't stop - always have to be busy, then I pay for it.

@busylady I used to be like that judith & Harry was even worse feeling guilty whenever we weren't working...not any more, we worked hard seven days a week 365 days a year so now we try to relax when we can ,,,,still have B&B in tonight so them to see to of course.

@annemary Enjoy your holiday Anne Marie...my daughter goes to Portugal on Thursday!
June 18th, 2013  
I am still planning to do exactly that! In my case, by the warm fire in a comfy armchair. I've been planning for some years actually - still have to do it! I've got the time but 365 is rather involving and I always think of something that I have forgotten to do so have to do it! Lovely corner of this garden!

a tranquil scene / collage pat...enjoy :)
June 18th, 2013  
Lovely relaxing scene. Yay! A proper book!!! Isn't it more satisfying reading in printed form rather than Kindle? *crossing fingers about reply^ :)
June 18th, 2013  
Lovely spot. Don't get too hot reading the catcher in the rye!
June 18th, 2013  
Nothing like a lazy day....to warm to spend it ironing!!

"Sure beats ironing" - is what my Mom says about any unpleasant task! So now you know where ironing is on HER list! And I believe it is genetic. I hope you had a snooze, too! I love your container gardening...

sounds good. relaxing shots.
June 19th, 2013  
Hope you had an awesome day. So good you took this shot for posterity! I am sure days like this are few and far between.
June 19th, 2013

June 19th, 2013

Looks perfect - love sitting and reading. I've got back into real books since joining the library (nominally for L). Before then I was kindle all the way too.
June 19th, 2013  
What a gorgeous shot. I'd love to join you
June 19th, 2013  
Nice shots. It's good to relax from time to time

Lazy days are good things to have every once in a while!
June 20th, 2013  
Oh, what a wonderful sounding day you had. Every summer I say I am going to read/reread some of the classics but somehow it escapes me. Good for you!

What a nice place to enjoying a good book. Lovely images and day!!

Hey nice head cushions for your Adirondacks!
June 21st, 2013  
@judithg We got these free as when the chairs arrived they had a slight split in the wood but four years later they are no worse! Look very nice & just slot over the backs...make a great difference to the comfort!
June 21st, 2013  
@happypat Might have to get my machine out!
June 21st, 2013  
@judithg Simple long shape , padded with a same fabric elastic strap at the back which slots over the struts...simple for a sewer like you!
June 21st, 2013  
@happypat Ps Will take a picture tomorrow!
June 21st, 2013
