Summer in January

We are having school outside part of the time these days. It seems that January is the new June. The weather has been lovely and so we have been enjoying one of my favorite Christmas presents: a picnic table! The slab of concrete was the floor of a shed when we moved here. Hubby and #2 tore it down several years ago, and I have been wanting a picnic area ever since. 
As you can see, Captain thinks it is an enjoyable spot as well. Though the weather seems spring/summerish, the landscape belies the real time of year. It isn't much to look at right now, but it is nice to be sitting outside anyway.
 In the right hand corner, near the wheelbarrow, you can see Hubby's and my anniversary gift to each other. We got a firepit so we can sit near the house and enjoy a little fire in the evenings. I have done it once, with no Hubby, but I am sure we will get to it sometime.
 Still waiting on the electric fence for this little guy. He is improving, and I really shouldn't complain, but truly I am too old for babies.

You may have noticed all of the tissues on the picnic table. #2 has a cold. #1 is still fighting mono and is worn out. Today the plan is to stay home and just get school and laundry done, to which #1 responded, "AWESOME!" Having college and other classes three days a week seem to be having their impact. Welcome to the new year!
