Outdoor upgrades

We have been upgrading our outdoor space this spring (you saw the patio furniture in the last post). This weekend we put together and used the fire pit (shown here with Cali).  We also purchased solar panel walkway lights from Costco.  They are really nice lights (heavy duty) which make a sun light pattern on the ground-what a nice surprise!

Outdoor dining!

Our first 80+ degree day of 2014 coincided perfectly with the arrival and assembly of our patio set. Notice we have bar height. This was our attempt at making it harder for Cali to put her disgusting tennis ball in our laps while eating. Can't wait for summer!

Halfway done

Spring term has 5 weeks left! I'm almost finished my first year as an assistant professor. So looking forward to summer and research.
