simple pleasures: daily picnics

Rain or shine, we love afternoon picnics (inside or outside). All you need is a designated picnic blanket (or two) to magically turn the most ordinary living room floor or backyard into someplace new, and your afternoon snack of choice. Some of our favorites are crackers, carrot sticks, a bag of popcorn, grapes, saltine goldfish crackers or sliced apples. Apples are expensive here, so they are a happy treat. A rare pleasure is strawberries - we LOVE strawberries. Maybe even more than we love picnics.

I love that some of the simplest things can bring such pleasure.
