Sunday Picnic

[alee_grrl]

Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.

So I had a lovely week working with jjhunter getting our two new features worked out (this is the first of the two, the second will be out later today). We had a lot of fun working on these.

Sunday Picnics are meant to be a great place to chat and relax after a long week. Comments can be poetry related, but don't have to be.

To get us rolling, I'll share my happy moment of the week. Had enough energy and felt well enough to go to a friend's St. Patrick's Day dinner and small party. It was a small group of friends and we had corned venison, cabbage with a horseradish mustard glaze, and potatoes. For those could imbibe alcohol there were several (what I assume are tasty) options (I assume their tasty as people were pleased while drinking them). It was a very nice night of good food, excellent conversation, and plenty of time spend cuddling the dog (always makes me happy).

Whether your week was a good one or a bad one, pull up a corner of the blanket and relax under the branches of the poet's tree. :)

Also, have a picture of my parents' cat looking mysterious! I feel like it ought to be the base for a cat macro of some kind: any suggestions for the caption?

[lynnoconnacht]

No caption suggestions, alas, but KITTY! <3<3<3<3

[jjhunter]

Cat is present, all arguments are potentially invalid. ;o)

[lynnoconnacht]

OMG! That icon is adorable!

[bookblather]

Kitty! You're right, it does sort of cry out for a caption. "Someday I'll show them all?"

[jjhunter]

[alee_grrl]

Kitty!

Plan for global domination almost complete.

:D

Squee! Love it. :)

I like the quilt! And the cat has placed [insert gender]self so artistically among the plants and the globe and everything, next to the boat.

Alas I also do not have caption ideas.

[lynnoconnacht]

Mmmm... Sounds like a wonderful dinner and party. I'm slightly envious. ^-^

[alee_grrl]

It was very nice, and relatively low key, which I love. :)

[lynnoconnacht]

<3 Low key parties are the best. ^-^

That sounds so lovely. Friends and good food and puppies make the best times.

I went to a similar party. There was pizza and ice cream cake and watching bad TV for MSTing purposes. The punishment for not wearing green was air kisses. Good times indeed.

[alee_grrl]

Friends and good food and puppies really do make for the best times.

Bad tv for MSTing purposes is one of my favorite pastimes. :) And your friends have the best punishment for not wearing green. Love it.
