The past few days have made me anxious for spring - not for spring storms mind you, but for springtime with planting and flowers and trees budding and picnics. I'm reminded of what Vinod did in bringing his blog friends together for a real picnic. Now, I can't do this right now, but we can dream can't we and if we dream enough, who knows what the future will hold.
I got to thinking. What would be better in blogland than a virtual picnic in honor of the coming spring. So, what would you like to contribute, and what is your ideal spot for a group picnic. Some of us would want to bring a couple people with us, so it needs to accomodate at least 25 or 30 people. What is your favorite group style activity? (That could be accomplished in a public place)
I'll bring a large taco salad and strawberry limeade. Lots of it. I make really good strawberry limeade with real strawberries and real limes. I took it to an art group dinner at Thanksgiving. One friend's daughter asked what she was drinking and she replied "It's strawberry limeade. It doesn't have any alcohol, but it's really good. You really ought to get some." We did have it at two Christmas parties, but they were at my house, so technically, I didn't take it!
My ideal spot for a spring picnic would be at Mount Nebo State Park near Russellville, Arkansas. It's a steep drive, but you can see forever and it's so beautiful. There is a playground for the kids and biking and hiking trails galore. There is a beautiful waterfall which has a good amount of water in the spring, though in the summer it's only a thin veil of water.
I love to play volleyball and to roast marshmallows. Funny Bones is also a great group game for adults if we had a pavillion.
So join me on my virtual picnic. Let me know what your part would be.
