Pretty as a Picnic

Believe it or not, New York has tons of beautiful parks, and I'm lucky enough to live just a few blocks away from the biggest in Brooklyn. And at some snow-covered point this winter, I, a bit stir-crazy, became obsessed with picnics. Probably because Mother Nature was telling me I couldn't have one. No one likes being told what they can and can not do, right?

Well guess what, it's picnic time. Take that, Mother effin' Nature.

Side note--picnic baskets can get pretty expensive! Hm. Who knew?

Also, sorry, Mother Nature. But you were really mean this year.
