Our warm weather won't be with us that much longer.  So take advantage of it.  And not all just for garden chores, please.  Take some time to read, daydream, or snooze, whatever feels most indulgent.  Not all of us have situations quite as ideal as the two shown here  (both from projects of Santa Barbara landscape architect Charles McClure), but we all have some place inviting to sit in the garden.  And, if not, then we should.

So, go on, indulge yourselves before the weekend and this great weather disappear.  That's an order.
