BIRTHDAY PICNIC

A sunny spring day with a May birthday called for the first backyard picnic of the season. What a delight to bless our daughter and family on the occasion of her 33 birthday with a spontaneous invite for a BBQ supper, just a thirty second walk across the street, not like the last 10 years when the wishes were sent in pretty cards or via Skype.
The triple chocolate cake was small, just the perfect size for seven slices, but for one little girl it was a deliciously big mess.
This week the earth is saturated with rain, but when the sun shines again we will once again be coaxed outdoors for a summer of gourmet grilling, sensational salads and happy hours, a backyard picnic paradise.
