Bringing the Outdoors Indoors

Two pots of flowers destined for the outdoor world this summer. They are not frost resistant so the cold weather we've been having means they have to be carried in every evening, and placed out again the next morning. Not a big problem with these two smaller pots but there is a third, much larger, pot that is something of a weight training exercise to move.
Today it's not frosty but it has been pouring with chilly rain all day so we decided the plants would be better staying indoors. We also decided WE would be better off staying in too so this picture represents a day when we all stayed mostly indoors.
We did a yoga session, two meditation sessions, watched the final two episodes of "Unorthodox" on Netflicks, read about a fifth of my current book, and had a fire burning to add a little cosiness to the room.
Part of our meditation concerned giving yourself luxuries, and it certainly feels we gave ourselves some luxuries today.
It may be raining and chilly but we have plenty of "Reasons to be Cheerful".
PS The day before yesterday (Ascension Day) Shelling pointed out it was the traditional day in Sweden to get up early and listen for the first cuckoo of spring. I wrote "No cuckoos yet", but yesterday we heard that first cuckoo while we sat around the fire on top of Owl Crag.  Another reason to be cheerful.
