I'm in madd love with picnics. And you might be freezing and think I'm crazy but down here in Looosiana it's been hotter than a hornet's nest. Yesterday it was 89 degrees. Eighty-nine. Today was the first day this fall that the temperature dropped and shocked us all into our stockings. But that's when I like to picnic the most--when you're not in threat of a heat stroke.
I love just laying in the grass with all that blue sky above you and a soft quilt beneath you. Watching little feet fly through the field and land every now and then beside you for a satisfying snack. A few Sundays ago we had a picnic in the park right after church. Nothing fancy, just ordered food and threw a blanket down (a beautiful blanket my friend Abbey made me). The sun was a scorcher that day but it was still fun. We are a picnic-ing kinda family.
I just adore my Princess Astair's lovely braided locks |

What a great day as a family. The "Frances" series is my favorite. I have them all and read them to my girls. :)
looks completely heavenly!!! I love that blanket! SO pretty! :)
we love to picnic, but it's been a while. (the florida heat had been unbearable lately!) you've inspired me to get the blankets back out, though; a fall picnic sounds like a fun thing to do this saturday! :)
Love those pictures! And I agree...."hotter than a hornet's nest" here in TX too! The past couple of days have been awesome with the cooler temps! :)
Beautiful pictures, beautiful memories!
Thanks for sharing.

Awww! I love picnics:-)
Pretty blanket. It's cold and wet, but we do get sun lately. Although I enjoy the fall here, this Texan girl couldn't handle a fall picnic.
