Another sign of spring? Not the wintry mix we're getting today... but the patio furniture is dusted off and out from its winter hibernation. There are four people chairs and one plastic chair as chewed up as an old bone that the dog claims as her own on many afternoons spent in the sun.
"Henry builds a Cabin" is a children's book by D.B. Johnson. In this wonderful picture book, Henry (a bear inspired by Henry David Thoreau) builds what appears to be a cabin too small for him. But as he explains to his friends, the outdoors are all a part of his "home." He doesn't need everything to be inside the cabin. I like the same thing to be true about my own home. The patio, the yard and the porch are important parts to the home. And I'd much rather spent time out than in (except on days like today...cold and rainy).
I hope you get to enjoy your outside home soon!
