When nice weather hits, I have gardening and yard chores that often keep me from reading when I want to. I hurry to get the work done, so I can grab a couple hours on the deck if it is cool enough to sit in the sun. If it is too warm to sit in the sun, I will sit in the shade of the porch and read.
Yesterday morning our power went out. No storms, nor a real reason. It was reported to take all day. I thought I would spend the whole day reading out under a shade tree, because it was hot and there was a breeze there. I pulled out a chair and table and settled in for two hours. Darn! The power came back on. I had to go to back to working.
Late last night, I found a tick in my hair! We never had ticks around here and not from my own tree. It sure was nice in the shade of that tree.
I don't read in public because of the people and noise distractions. In a beach or lake setting I can, but not in stores.
