The small park was busy while we were there but not too busy.
I also took cushions and books. I wasn't up to reading but my niece looked at books while I relaxed.
We munched on mini meatballs, potato and egg salad, cheese, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes and grapes. We brought water to drink and a soda each.
The black crow in the tree next to us seemed to be waiting for some food. We didn't
encourage it by throwing scraps of food but my niece loved to watch this bird and two others that joined it.
The shady trees made a refreshing change from the condo. It's always lovely to get out for a picnic but I seldom do these days.
Join in here to see what others are up to on Our World Tuesday.
Looks like you had a lovely day.

ReplyDeleteReading this post and seeing the photos make me want to go to the park with my friend. It's been a long time since the last we did it. I could tell you both enjoyed to be in the green.
