One of our biggest accomplishments last weekend was bringing a table up to the house to put in our screened-in porch. It’s acutally a pretty nice table and not meant to be a picnic table at all. But it’s way too big for our apartment, and rather than having an extra table that doesn’t fit anywhere and buying a new picnic table, we decided to put this one on the deck. We know we’ll sacrifice some of the finish as the elements get to it, but we’re resigned to that.
In the meantime, we’ve been dining with Al (that would be our friend, Al Fresco) as much as possible this weekend. We got lucky with the weather for the last few days — it’s been beautiful and will likely be one of the last weekends so sunny and warm. So we’re taking advantage of what feels like the addition of another room to our house for as long as possible.

Hooray for dining al fresco! We are, sadly, out of that stage of the year as winter arrived this weekend (only 6 inches of snow, thank goodness). Enjoy it while you can.
I’m so happy you moved the table! I know you’ve wanting to do that forever. Your kitchen in NY must feel enormous now.
Not quite yet. Our car was too small to fit the table and the chairs at the same time, so we still have four chairs in our kitchen! We’ll start taking them up this weekend, so it’ll feel enormous soon!
I’m impressed that you fit the table in the car at all. How lovely that you can dine with Al… And the deer… Ah country life!
