It's A Beautiful Time Of Year

Our temperatures have finally gotten back to a level where I can work outside. I have a new bistro patio set that I haven't used yet because the temps have just been too high. Yesterday I finally got to try it out. Took my laptop and a big glass of iced tea outside, and went to town on my current wip.

It was grand. Well, once the landscapers or whoever they were stopped running their loud whatevers, it was grand. When I look up I can see part of the mountain range--it'll be even more visible in another month or so once the mesquite trees lose more of their little leaves. The sun was warm on my back, the birds chirped, the sky was a bright blue without a cloud in sight...

Heaven.

The only complaint I really have is those doggone bugs. Some kind of kamikaze gnat-type creatures who kept landing on my laptop. Thankfully none of them went into my tea. Well, not that I know of anyway. I don't suppose it'll hurt me if I ended up rinking some of them. They're pretty little... I did check every time I took a sip, so I think I'm gnat-free. LOL

The rest of the week I have to go to my day job about 5 hours a day--the boss is off and so I'm covering for her. Then next week I'm back to my normal 2 days a week.

Have a great day today, everyone!

I don't mind gray and raining here, because we really need it. But it's usually only gray and raining for a day at the most, then blue skies come back. :)

Sounds wonderful. All except for the bugs that is :)

Sounds wonderful, ditto.

And bugs in my tea don't bug me, I can't stand it when they try to perform a suicide mission into your eyeball! That is gross...

Ya got that right, Kelley. I half expected to carry dozens of the little buggers back into the house with me, but I don't think I did.

Ali, I've been keeping an eye on that weather. Scary stuff. Stay safe!

Estella, rain isn't always a bad thing. It's just so unusual here that people get excited that it's going to rain. It's pretty funny.
