Picnic

Austin has had a slew of warm winter weather recently, very different from last January's record lows and ice storm.

Thank goodness we have been able to get outside. It is much easier to keep everyone happy outdoors where they can run free. We've had lots of picnics with our new table that Grammy and Papa gave us for Christmas. And since we are on a corner lot with open fencing we get to visit with all of our neighbors and their dogs as they walk by.

There are three boys next door, ages 9 to 12 and they like to stop by and entertain our gang. It's a nice break for me. Today Evan figured out how to climb the fence to open the gate latch and he walked right out while we were not paying attention. Fortunately the boys next door saw him and captured him before he made it to the street.
