Cheryl - we got one of those cheap-o covers for the swing - from Wal-Mart - it&#39;s great - makes the thing look like a great big green toad perched on the deck lol.  The snow kind of tore up last years model but there only ten bucks so not too bad. <br />
<br />
 I unzip it when the sun comes out but leave the back in tact - very private and cozy - kind of like making a fort under the dining room table when you were a kid tee-hee.<br />
<br />
Hope you are having a great (pain free) day :o)<br />

Didn&#39;t notice the date until you mentioned it.  We lost our daughter on 20,02, 2002   ...  it&#39;s palandromic - a date I will never forget.  :o(
