I have hardly stepped outside all winter except for an occasional walk with my beagle and sheetzu because it is FREEZING here. I miss sitting on my cozy back porch while the morning sun warms my face. I tell myself it will be worth the long winter months indoors. Come Spring come. In the meantime, I have my trusty patio heater. An outdoor infrared patio heater gives me a moment to breath in some fresh air in spite of the winter cold.
