Eric wanted his morning coffee outside today. It's raining. I was doubtful, squacked a little. He said isn't that what we built the roof for? He was generous to say 'we'. So, I'm wearing my winter parka, double wrapped in a picnic comforter with the heater on. It's truly lovely out here. Listening to the rain and toasty warm with a couple pups, Walter and some tea. Bliss. Eric stayed a bit but the call of the compacter got him moving.
