So here's the short of it, 
I think that my patio breakfasts are over for the season.

And here's the long.

This morning it was too cold to sit on the patio and eat breakfast.  And yesterday it was too cold.  It's also too dark at breakfast time now to sit out on the patio and eat breakfast. Sophie also prefers to have breakfast outside, but we can manage indoors until the weather warms up.  And who knows - maybe there'll be a day or two on a weekend when it's warm enough to have a very late breakfast or a lunch out on the patio.  In the meantime, I'm moving breakfast into the dining room until spring time.

I'll still share a dish of oats with Sophie.  Raisins in mine - not in hers.  But I'll sit at the dining room table and she'll be nearby.  Maybe every once in awhile we'll have yogurt instead.  And since we'll be inside, once in awhile Lola may come to join us for a bit.  Especially on the mornings we have yogurt.

It's a nice start to the day.
