This time of year, my wife and I are on our back deck pretty much every day from 4PM to 7PM (or later), and we almost always cook dinners outdoors. (We have a large, shaded back yard that is beautiful and that we love to enjoy).
We read, play with the dogs, entertain friends and family, throw some cornhole, sip some adult beverages..... The wife will pull a few straggler weeds while I bet on some MLB. Our good friends have a 2 year old daughter who loves to play in our sprinklers.
Our backyard is a weekly, and sometimes daily gathering spot for our friends and family, so life is good in the neighborhood and we are always entertaining and enjoying our people.
You're living the dream!! I hope you demonstrate good flashlights after dark and spread the Gospel of Lithium-ion!!
