(Mellow Wanderer) Find yourself a shady backyard or a beach and have a lazy good time. Nothing like mid-summer to celebrate National Hammock Day. July 22 is a sure bet good weather dominates most places in the world. Just don’t fall asleep in one as a thunderstorm approaches!
According to Wikipedia, Native Americans used hammocks and Christopher Columbus took a bunch back to Europe after discovering them in the New World. The first hammocks were woven out of bark from the hamack tree. 
Today, hammocks come in every shape, size, style and price. You don’t even need a couple of trees to tie one down. Mellow Wanderer discovered a video counting down the top ten hammocks in the world.
So kick-back, hang-out and enjoy National Hammock Day!
