Happiness. It's relative.
Writing in the Little Fire House
I bought my ancient laptop a little house so it can come outside with me.
There were simpler models but the foil-like canopy sold me. It has the air of a fire shelter. Maybe we could put the cat in it if wildfires flare up in the U.P.
It’s very cozy. It makes me feel like I’m writing secrets.
There is a level of self-indulgence involved here, I will admit. But I am, at least up here on Lake Superior, immune to criticism, even my own, which in other locales, can be quite plentiful.
So I am here, writing in the sun as Hemingway might have done years ago with a pad of paper and a #2 pencil.
I have wonderful company. It’s fabulous.

What a clever contraption! it’s so difficult to read electronic screens in strong sunlight, and this is the answer. Enjoy the sunshine. We’re having a particularly cloudy, grey, cold winter, and the occasional sunny day is such a welcome reprieve!
It looks both tempting and luxurious
What a great idea!
what a perfect setting and that tent is new to me, but I can see how great it would be. it does kind of seem like a spy thing )
How clever! I truly did not know those things existed!
Me either until I started hunting on Amazon. Works great – a little on the bulky side but serve the purpose.
