Last year at this time, I opened my “outside office” (or is it “outdoor office”). The weather was not quite conducive then but I like things to be in place. That remains to happen this year; I still hope it occurs this month. Meanwhile, umbrellas and seat pads, fan, and chaise lounges remain in the shed; and the monitor I deploy outside sits inside awaiting an outside setup. 

One thing I do know, weather permitting, the ability to set up temporarily remains easy. My iPad and iPhone offer much versatility; I can access my files remotely; just Friday morning, I prepared a document for a client without any need to get to my MacBook in my office. So if the weather (and my schedule) allows, I fully expect to make some use on an ad hoc basis until all goes full blast.
