patio perfect

What I wouldn't give right now to be lounging around on one of these patios, basking in the sunlight, eating a perfectly grilled meal of marinated chicken breast, fresh vegetables, and refreshing cocktails.....because ONCE AGAIN THE FURY OF MOTHER NATURE HAS UNLEASHED A SNOWSTORM.  Yes, there is about two inches of snow on the ground, and I was driving in a complete blizzard yesterday.  Thank you, Mother Nature, for your kind gestures are greatly appreciated.
