Dreaming of Picnics

On this very rainy day, I'm dreaming of the simple joys of picnics...

"He looked in the refrigerator and found four lemons and made a jar of lemonade. He found cold chicken, and then, a fine wedge of Brie and French rolls. There were berries left from breakfast, and Puny's banana bread that hadn't even been cut.

He put it all into a picnic basket and fetched a starched tablecloth out of the bottom drawer of the buffet."
