    I can see that! I can understand the attraction, when did we have more fun that when we swung higher and higher as children! I smile when I think of the sight of tree tops between a pair of Keds!

    Your friend makes lovely swings! I love the one of the couple over the wheelbarrow of flowers.

    Nah I'd never have guessed Donna!! :rolleyes: :D I would love to have the space to have a swing in the garden.
    The ones your friend makes are really fantastic. I like the crow, the blue bird and the cat ones best of all. Does she sell them? if not I'm sure there are plenty of folks out there who would willingly pay to have at least one in their home or garden.

    Hi Eileen, My friend made the two oak swings on deck and by grill. The others I made over the years. Except the blue bird and rope swinds which I bought..

    Those swings are all very nice. I would love one like the top one. My husband might be persuaded to make me one... Or I'd just go and see if I can find a nice rope one. Yours look mighty comfortable! :D

    The girls' swing set should soon be available - Maybe I'll just remove their swings and fit one that fits me. :D

    Do you by any chance like swings Donna? :) I really like the swinging blue bird. But the tree guy behind it? He should get his own topic I reckon!

    Donna you are one gal that really knows how to swinging. :D I can see you sitting out there sipping a cool glass of lemonade. Or maybe something a little stronger like a lemonade margarita? ;)
