Winter, Winter, "Picnic Dinner"!!

With all this cold and snow...which I seriously love,
(don't tell anybody),
I have been longing for a picnic in the park, with the hubs.
I have, it's true...we do it all the time,
and it's one of the fun-est things we do together.

It always starts with a ride on our bikes,
mine has a big huge basket on the front to carry our picnic
food and supplies.
We pick our "spot", tree selection is imperative,
it must have the perfect blend of 
sun and shade.

Once our beautiful picnic blanket is in place, 
we share our picnic with the ants, whom I might add are not invited,
but never fail to join us!
So in order to have a "winter" picnic...
the other day, I prepared all our favorite picnic foods.
And for the first time ever,
we had a winter picnic, indoors, no ants attended!

 Pasta Salad, Snowflake Crackers, Chicken Salad and
Deviled Eggs with Bacon
YuM!!
I should have used paper plates for the picnic :)
next time!

 Sharing today's entry with
Stephanie at The Enchanting Rose
Stop by and say hi!! 
There are lot's are very talented people there!!

    That looks like fun! Sometimes we have an indoor picnic too! And I made chicken salad just last night for today's lunch.

    Love your indoor picnic idea! I can't wait to picnic outside, and I agree that tree selection is a crucial element of a perfect picnic. Have a great day!

    we have the weather for a picnic but the pollen is so thick you can hardly breathe outside. I'm pretty much staying in until the end of the month. The sky is orange from the pollen. Oh, I itch just thinking about it.

    Aren't you the clever one! It should be warm enough for outdoor eating this week, but don't sit on the ground!

    You are always giving me good ideas of things to do with my hubby! I have a basket on my bike and the park is right behind our hours, so why not? Your picnic looks so yummy!!! Never thought to put bacon bits on top of deviled eggs. Another great idea. :)
