Outside Time

The good thing about living in the South is that it warms up pretty early in the year. The bad part is that by the end of the summer it feels like Satan's armpit, but there's nothing we can do about that.

We have been, however, enjoying outside as much as we can before it gets too hot. We bought our house because it's smack in the middle of a half acre. It's not a homestead, but it beats suburban lots. Anyway, we've got a nice sized front and backyard on a quiet cul de sac and we pictured taking strolls with kids and dog in tow, drawing over our long driveway, and eating meals on the patio slab outback.

Those dreams are finally coming to fruition. :) we've been eating out as much as our schedule allows in the evenings and have enjoyed watching the kids play and have fun. I hope the kids look back on this time as fondly as we will.
