Now it's really starting to feel like summer

Yesterday was so nice; I think it was in the low 70s. So I came home from work as soon as possible, poured myself a glass of red wine (Lambrusco, of course) and sat out on our patio reading Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire. It was so relaxing; I think I was out there for a couple hours, and it was so nice to just be outside in the fresh air. I even put Maxine on a leash (which normally she doesn't like) so she could scamper around the patio without me worrying that she'll run off (not that she's ever done this, but I don't want to risk it!) She had a good time exploring all the nooks and crannies of our patio/garden.
