Patio on the grass

I find myself 'stooping'* on the concrete ledge that surrounds our garden several times a day while I eat lunch, take a study break, or merely take a moment to mull.  Recently, we procured two foldable picnic chairs for our imminent camping trip so I've set them up next to our garden with a few flowering pot plants and voila, we have a nice little patio area to sit in.  Soph leaves for Europe this afternoon so we'll have her over for lunch and to test our new patio before she goes.

*stooping - to sit on your front stoop or stairs, chatting, smoking, or greeting passers-by.  A commonly used term in Baltimore, MD., where stoops hit the footpath of busy city streets.
