The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison ofAlison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!
TODAY'S QUESTION/TOPIC:
Spring is in the air! Show off your favorite outdoors reading spot. If you don’t go outside…well where else do you read that isn’t inside your house? We want pics!
Well Spring is not quite in there air here on the coast of North Carolina. This morning it is at a whopping 32 degrees. I will, however, endure the cold and the suffering to sit outside and read my books. It is the only place I can get a few minutes away from my kids and also I enjoy a smoke while reading, to do that I must be outside. (I don't smoke in or around my house or kids)
( ↑ Pictures Above ↑ )
This is where I sit everyday I go outside and read. On this lovely, child size, wooden chair. A friend gave this to me for my girls to have and I meant to bring it inside. Well that never did happen and for 2 years now it has become my reading chair. This chair and I have suffered through rain, snow, and mosquito infested, sweltering hot summers together. I love this chair!!
This is last Spring when I was sitting in my chair. This is a picture of a caterpillar enjoying a nice read with me. During the Spring they're EVERYWHERE!! →
This picture below is actually of my daughter collecting them in her container to keep as pets ↓
I usually don't get the time to read anywhere else outdoors other than in my own front yard or porch, so when I'm not out there, I'm inside probably reading on my comfy, cozy bed. We just got a new mattress 8 months ago, so yea! It's a pretty darn comfortable reading spot :)
Yes, so those are the places I like to read. Once it warms up and plants start to turn green and flowers blossom, come back and check in, I'll have some nicer photos of my front yard for ya!
What about y'all? Where's your favorite outdoor/indoor reading spots?
♥ BIG hugs and Lots of LOVE ♥
It's a pity it's so cold there... But reading in bed or on a couch is always my favorite place to read! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is nice but I tend to get uncomfortable really fast in bed. I can never find the right position! lol
DeleteThanks for stopping by Nadia xoxo

EEeeekkk! Thank you! And thanks for stopping by xoxox
DeleteYour bedroom looks so cozy, I love the conferter (or bed spread, whatever you call it where you're from). I don't like reading out in the cold either. Today its -11°c outside brrrr. I think the cold front is almost over though and really it's about damn time! Lol. Your daughter's a little sweetie pie, is it Lily? Not sure why but I can't see your outdoors pics :-(
ReplyDeleteBooooooo!!! I don't know what's up with that...grrrrr!!! and yes, Thank You! Lily Jade, Leia (like Princess Leia from Star Wars) Grace and Vita Bella
DeleteAwesome names! I got a Serena Jenene & a Cole Ryan :-D if my boy was a girl I was going to name him Lily Bella.
DeleteI love reading in bed too except I tend to fall asleep faster that way. lol.

Lately I've been getting up so early in the morning that when I read at night I end up nodding off :( I hate when that happens cause I end up drooling all up in my book's pages LOL....J/K! No, really, it's totally happened before!! :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by Laura xoxox
I love the owls in your bedroom! Ahh! Too cute. And your daughter is adorable!
ReplyDeleteIt's really cold here in TN, too. Seeing all these warm pics with this FF are making me glare outside at the cold weather. I love the caterpillars, though! I have a horde of squirrels that run around the house and yard. I may encourage this by putting out feeders for them. Hah.
Enjoy your weekend, doll! xx
YES! I love squirrels! There all over my yard too! Whenever I go to Five Guys (a burger joint) I'll fill my take out bag with loads of the shelled peanuts they have sitting out for customers. When I get home I'll throw them out in the yard and watch the squirrels gather and eat. It's so darn cute!! LOL
DeleteThanks for stopping by Kristen xoxox ♥♥♥
I would rather see caterpillars than snow! Lol, cannot wait to read outside!
ReplyDeleteMissie @ A Flurry of Ponderings
Oh yea, definitely!! This has been the worst winter I've ever seen living in NC. It actually snowed several times and for NC's east coast, that's crazy!!!
DeleteHURRY UP SUNSHINE AND WARM WEATHER!!! Not hot, warm and breezy, NICE weather :)
Always a pleasure Missie! Have a great weekend ♥
Great pictures!

Cassi @ My Thoughts Literally
Oh boy did she want too! She wanted to bring them in the house and everything!!! LOL She loves caterpillars because she is obsessed with The Very Hungry Caterpillar book. She watches the video and has TVHC stuffed animals, I mean just obsessed! Whenever we color outside with sidewalk chalk she always asks me to draw TVHC and all the food it ate. So I basically draw the whole story with chalk!!
DeleteThanks for stopping by Cassi! and for following ;) Have an awesome weekend ♥
Your daughter is so cute! We were lucking enough to have pretty weather this week, but it's not suppose to last. I also love reading in bed =) it's probably my favorite place to read. New bloglovin follower =)

I like reading in bed too but it gets really uncomfortable for me, really fast!! I keep having to change positions every 5 mins. That's why I usually sit in my chair outside. For some reason I find sitting with my feet kicked up is so comfortable lol Thank you for the comment about my daughter! She is a DIVA! for sure! hahaha ;) Hope you have a great weekend, Ashley, and try and enjoy that nice weather while you have it! xoxo ♥
DeleteLooks great! Such cute pics! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy Friday!
