Sitting on the patio on a lovely day?
Good idea.

Writing on the current work-in-progress while sitting on the patio on a lovely day?
Great idea.

Enjoying a cup of coffee while writing on the current work-in-progress while sitting on the patio on a lovely day?
Grand idea!

Snacking on peanuts while enjoying a cup of coffee while writing on the current work-in-progress while sitting on the patio on a lovely day?

Maybe not the best idea ever, considering the squirrels and chipmunks and their complete and utter lack of concern about the human, but it was entertaining. This little bugger of a gray squirrel climbed up on the table, walked right up to me, and snatched dry roasted peanuts from my bowl. Meanwhile, one of the chipmunks sat near my feet and stared up at me, obviously wanting me to share.
