Hanging Around: Swings For Inside and Out

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Mr. Zuckerman had the best swing in the country. It was a single long piece of heavy rope tied to the beam over the north doorway [of the barn]. At the bottom of the rope was a fat knot to sit on. . . . You climbed a ladder to the hayloft. Then, holding the rope, you stood at the edge and looked down, and were scared and dizzy. . . . Then you got up all your nerve, took a deep breath, and jumped.</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">E.B. White, <i>Charlotte's Web</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The pictures below indicate that you are never too old to enjoy a swing, and you can even hang a swing indoors. Made of wicker, rattan, reclaimed wood, or even an antique door, swings offer a wonderful place to relax. I have included a few pictures of hammocks, too. Enjoy!  </span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq_rWMIqX2aZyS4C3yNpoU4d-LRRNvEXcM4O7LXnweSjO4sODzfMv3QctXElLHAt8Vmw9VVCC82pcBG5VQJhqc_Jn5_wOSASxVuenGgK_adkMFBGmrk4F6EEhXcd9AyQQ89ZQAHi7wepY/s1600/item2.rendition.slideshowHorizontal.03_donna_karanAD2009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq_rWMIqX2aZyS4C3yNpoU4d-LRRNvEXcM4O7LXnweSjO4sODzfMv3QctXElLHAt8Vmw9VVCC82pcBG5VQJhqc_Jn5_wOSASxVuenGgK_adkMFBGmrk4F6EEhXcd9AyQQ89ZQAHi7wepY/s640/item2.rendition.slideshowHorizontal.03_donna_karanAD2009.jpg" width="488" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">" 'Just being a part of nature, a guest of nature, was the most important key,' remarks [Donna] Karan.
