Last year, I definitely took the shutters down too early because I unwisely let a warm week convince me it was time. So this year, I decided I would do it no earlier than Easter and no later than May Eve, essentially sometime in April; that seems right because I put them back on when the rains start in October. But the weather has been wackier than usual this year, so it wasn’t until this past Thursday that I decided it was time. We’re still getting some chilly nights, but the days are sunny and reasonably warm, and we’re past the really heavy rains now. It’s true that we’re definitely too far north for a screen porch like the ones that were ubiquitous where I grew up, but the atrium is a nice compromise: closed in enough for the cold months, but with a nice breeze and plenty of light in the few warm ones. And as you can see, Rocky agrees with me.
