Yesterday was the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, and all day I kept thinking about how, when the kids were young I would try to celebrate both this day, the first day of summer and the last day of summer, with a picnic.
It got a little more challenging as they got older and we were often tied up with some sports event on one or both of those days, but I tried my best for as long as I could. It's been a long time now since we went on a picnic of any kind and I miss that.
I'm hoping that once I get my mother's estate settled and my own house organized and less of a jumble - I will be able to have a much less over-booked and frantic life - one that includes time to sit on the deck and write, one that includes camp fires in our backyard, and one that includes picnics!
