May 31 - Dinner at the Picnic Table

Spencer made our picnic table. My paint job didn't take very well, which really bothered me at first, but I've grown to like it. It has the patina of a beat-up picnic table at a state park, its green paint gouged and flaking. I just need to carve some initials into the wood to complete the effect.

The table is in a screen house. On warm evenings I load a tray with a lantern, salt and pepper, napkins and cutlery and take it to the screen house while dinner is cooking. An egg salad sandwich is heaven when accompanied by a soft breeze and dinner music of rustling leaves, crickets and dogs barking in the distance.
