Patio Season Has Begun

Two days ago, we brought our patio furniture back out—finally able to sit outside in short sleeves and crochet, since last Saturday we were still out and about in jackets.
But it’s not more than 10 degrees today.

I also washed everything today. It’s T-shirt weather here. 

Dear Andrea, you look wonderfully relaxed in your sunny spot with your craft project in your hands. In moments like these, I wish time would just stand still.

Warm regards—Ina

Thank you, Ina, for your kind words—it really does feel good to take some time to relax.

Hats off to you, Andrea!
Wearing short sleeves at 10 degrees—that would still be too cold for me. But I really like your little crafting nook!

Oh, that’s lovely :) 

The patio season has started here too. 
We spend every lunch break outside (thanks to working from home, all three of us are at home at the moment), and in the evenings we all sit together in the sun. 
It’s really wonderful. But I haven’t gotten around to crocheting outside yet. 

10 degrees might sound cold to you, but the sun is already strong, so it was pleasantly warm—and there wasn’t a breeze either.
You get used to the temperatures here. For us, 10 degrees is already a luxury. :-)
Over the next few days, it’s supposed to drop back down into the single digits, with rain and wind—so I’m envious of all of you enjoying 24 degrees.

Oh, how nice, Andrea, that you’re showing us a bit of yourself and your home. I really like your little spot, too.
We’ve been sitting in the garden for a few days now, and today it was over 20 degrees—it really felt like summer. I actually knitted through more than one ball of yarn. It’s supposed to stay this way for the next few days.

Oh, Monika, can’t you send us a little more sunshine? It’s only 4 degrees here now, and it was below freezing this morning—no warmth in sight. I want to sit outside again. You really have to make the most of every ray of sunshine here.

We’ve already been enjoying the sun—on Saturday we had our first barbecue of the season and were able to sit outside for quite a while… it was really nice.

It looks cozy at your place too, Claudia. Lovely.
The only thing still missing here is the warmth. We haven’t grilled yet. That will all come, I’m sure.
