My mother probably wishes I had never seen the patio furniture thusly prepared for the off-season. I keep being drawn to shooting it, and out of kindness she sometimes keeps it wrapped long past when it makes sense to do so. I've been back home as late as April, when the azaleas and dogwoods are in full bloom and found the patio still wrapped.
