A Cozy Reading Hammock

Coming back inside after watching the leaf boat float, my legs felt delightfully tired from the garden path. I slipped over to the low magazine basket beside the armchair. Slumped over its sturdy wicker edge was a glossy lifestyle magazine, its thick cover bent open into a deep, gentle slide. I tilted my head to inspect the arched spine. Right on the floor lay a soft, folded felt coaster. With both hands, I nudged the felt pad up onto the curved slope until it lodged firmly against the page fold. Then, I backed up and eased myself down into the curve, letting the paper hammock cradle my tired shoulders as the quiet evening settled in.
