DH worked Saturday, so DD and I went on a picnic! Friends hosts this every year on the back part of their family homestead. In the winter, this back part is a field that floods on a regular basis, but in August, with the help of hours of mowing, it becomes a volleyball court, picnic tables, and a spot for swimming in the river. This year someone even dragged a paddle boat down there!

The picture is a bit overexposed, but I loved the sight of all the parents looking longingly at the fun in the river.
Speaking of imperfect pics, I've worked on a pic from the parade- we were still in the process of adding daffodils at this stage

The chicken salad I took went over so big I thought I'd share the recipe here (I tripled it for the picnic)
Brush 2 large bone-in-skin-on chicken breasts with olive oil and roast in a foil-lined pan at 400 for about 35 minutes ( I sprinkled it with onion-and-garlic pepper too). Let it cool, debone it and cut into bite-size pieces. Then mix together 2 diced celery ribs, 2 green onions minced, 1 cup mayo, 1T lemon juice, 6 T golden raisins, 2 tsp. curry powder, 1T honey, and a little salt. Add the chicken and chill.

Mmmm mmmm sounds delicious Mary. I won't mind seeing Daffodil arriving with a special delivery of it!

LOL! With the curry, it actually would be color-coordinated!
