sunday pic-a-nic

want to come over for a picnic on our lawn? just come on round and ring the doorman he'll let you in and if we're already outside he'll point you in the right direction. we're probably under that big tree.

i like how our place is a little bit estate and a little bit boarding school. lights out at 10! no boys after dark! jeremy's still not quite used to hiding in the closet for nightly room checks.

look steph! more of your clothes! jeremy keeps saying 'is that a new top' and i keep saying 'no i got it from the stephanie perkins moving sale'. i love steph's hand-me-downs. i feel like i'm being environmentally friendly and fashionable all at the same time. and i feel like my stephanie perkins halloween costume has way more outfit options now.

i got this picnic blanket from england with the hopes of one day being able to say 'i got this picnic blanket from england' so mission accomplished! me and my friend derek both got one from the gift shop at stonehenge where we also purchased 'rock cake' which is a bit more appetizing than it sounds but not much.

jeremy made us tuna and apple sammiches which are delightful and fresh and crunchy! we also had pickles and sliced tomatoes and lemonade and potato chips which are all things that go with picnics like ants and watermelon baskets.

i correctly identified my first tree using my birthday present tree guide! it was an american beech and there's a spot in the back that you check off trees that you have correctly identified so i checked it right away and cheersed myself with lemonade to celebrate.

when you lay on your back on the lawn in our place you see trees on all sides with sky in the middle like the trees are a frame and the sky is a picture that's always moving.

and on sunday the picture moves slowly cause you will it so and if it starts to speed up you offer it some lemonade and that mostly always does the trick.
