Yay, it's not just me! I was beginning to be concerned for my sanity.
Spending time in the yard with my girls, like so many of you have said, is like my "therapy". Whenever I open my back door to go out onto my back patio, the girls come flappin' and runnin' from hither and yon to see if I brought them any treats, as soon as they hear the door. I try really hard not to disappoint them too terribly often and try to bring them out at least 2 treats a day, usually a protein treat (scrambled/hardboiled egg) in the morning and a cool fruity treat like melon or peaches or grapes in the afternoon. If it's not too terribly hot in the afternoon, I'll skip the afternoon treat. There are plenty of bugs and other goodies around the yard they can have for treats!
We can't go out there and eat unless we plan to share, though. The girls have no problem jumping up and taking it from us! It's hilarious!
