I believe that the best thing about being retired is being able to take afternoon naps. Taking naps outside is the best of the best. The hammock is always calling me by my first name.
However, we have a new possibility for napping as of today. We put this sofa/bed together this afternoon. We ordered it from Target. Instructions were kind of helpful… kind of.



On a completely different note, I walked out into our garage this morning and this little fella flew in and just sat there. Finally, I thought that it might be injured so I got a box. As I approached it, it took off at the speed of sound. I didn’t know parakeets could fly so fast. Kind of felt sorry for it though, being the only parakeet in the neighborhood. Probably a trade off though considering how free he was to fly about. (I looked it up, parakeets can fly fast, but I might have exaggerated a teeny, tiny, little bit. It’s the fisherman in me!)

Yes! Another fan of naps. That sofa bed outside is beautiful and looks so inviting, I’ll bet you’ll enjoy many great naps on that.
About 1 month ago I got a new memory foam mattress, it’s about 12 inches thick, along with my memory foam pillow my daily naps are a wonderful part of my day. As soon as I was free of an employer I began taking naps.
What a beautiful parakeet, I’m glad it wasn’t injured, from what you said being the only one, it must have broken out of a caged life.

I think the last couple of years at work, I might have been taking afternoon naps, but my eyes were open! It was a really pretty little birdie. I sort of got attached to it in a couple of minutes.

Nice nap space and no mosquitoes… I’m envious! I’m amazed at how fast your garden grows, Gary. I remember you posting about this arbor going up and now look at it, surrounded by lush plants… what a climate can do!
I guess that budgie wasn’t keen on losing his freedom. 🙂

The weeds grow even faster!!! Mosquitos start being an issue later in June, but nothing like the more woodsy areas, except in the rice fields around here.
