Last Sunday, Husband and I opted for an impromptu picnic right after church. There’s not much I love more than sitting on a picnic blanket next to my 2 favorite people. Nature brings out the best in me, and being surrounded by soccer-playing daddies & tots, squeaky teeter-totters, sky-flying swings, way too many unleashed dogs, green grass, and sunny skies is just icing (and sprinkles) on top of the cake. This, my friends, is what Sunday afternoons were meant to be. Bliss.
We just loved. We sat together, munching on a crusty baguette sprinkled with chunks of peppered pecorino that we lucked upon at a 50% discount, with Summer Elizabeth wedged between our laps. Husband chugged a tall bottle of iced tea as we chatted and glanced around from time to time to see if our friends were making their way over yet. We brought no napkins. No knives. No picnic blanket (our friends, always prepared, came with a blanket AND baby toys.) No agenda. All we needed was one another and the perfectly sunny, breezy Sunday afternoon.
Thank you Lord, for the perfect Sunday afternoon!

Visiting back from FiveInFive- Good gracious where on earth do you live that an afternoon still looks like that! 😉 We have had rain, rain, some horrible wind, and some more rain! (Sandy the storm) That picnic looks delightful, so glad you can still enjoy days like that in late October! 🙂
Visiting from Fellowship Fridays–looks like the perfect Sunday afternoon to me too. Blessings, Gin

Yes! I love picnics – maybe I should plan one while the weather is so nice!
It’s so cold here! I love imagining that I’m there with you. I promise I’d keep my dog on a leash 🙂
good gravy that looks so much like the park very close to where we live when we’re there in Moravia.
It’s el parque infantil de Moravia. No wonder that’s what it looks like. Next time you’re here, you’ll be amazed at how different it looks now that the mall (Plaza Lincoln…where the old Lincoln High School used to be) is in town. I had no idea you guys came around the Moravia area when you’re in C.R.! Small world, right? Well…I suppose C.R. is pretty tiny, isn’t it? 😉
