Time for a Picnic!

“Freshly showered and shaved, hair still dripping, Zeus hurried to the fence and puckered up in anticipation of the promised kiss.” 🙂

The cute face of Zeus, along with my silly caption above, won me this fabulous prize below at Designs by Gollum!

Isn’t it awesome? 🙂

Zeus belongs to Michael, whose delightful blog is Designs by Gollum. If you’ve never visited or participated in Foodie Friday, you are missing out! Michael has a wonderful sense of humor and her tales of life around the farm will keep you entertained, as will her awesome books!

This darling wicker “Picnic Basket for Two” came with everything I’ll need for dining on the lawn…including glassware with little napkins tucked inside.

It even has a handy wine-bottle opener for those nights at Chastain Park (Atlanta) listening to the Moody Blues.

It’s perfect!

Thank-you, Michael…and Zeus!  I love it!

  5. Susan, I'm so happy that it was you who won the picnic basket. Congratulations! I couldn't agree more about MLW and her wonderful books. I've just completed her book, MERMAIDS IN THE BASEMENT. I see a tablescape on the horizon when I write my FFT book review. 🙂
    I'm off to see the green and white inspired rooms.

  12. That kitchen is just too gorgeous for the kind of heavy-duty mess I make when I cook! Lovely dream though.

  28. That has to be the most beautiful kitchen I've ever seen. It's too fabulous for words. Even though I'm not crazy about cooking, I'd never want to leave it.Thanks for sharing.

  29. Bringing Pretty Back says

    Zeus is adorable and the basket is beautiful! Good for you!

  30. Mid-Atlantic Martha says

    Now that Zeus is all spiffied up — I'll bet he would love to go on a picnic with you! You'd have him eating right out of your hand.

  31. Zeus is adorable!

  32. Rettabug says

    I hope you have many warm summer evenings to enjoy your prize, Susan! Congratulations!!
    You & Michael Lee must be long lost twins, separated at birth, because you both have such wonderfully creative ideas. I greatly appreciate the fact that you both share them with us.

    Your fascination with green & white is infectious. I keep finding myself drawn to the combination again & again. I just commented on Back Porch Musing Pat's pretty green apples in a white dish. 🙂

    I can't wait to see what you've come up with later tonight. "I'll be BACH" said in my best Arnold voice. LOL

  33. Rettabug says

    ooops…forgot to answer your question: It is only moderately hilly here. The last one back UP to my house is the killer! No sidewalks but lots of bike paths & lanes marked off. Plus the grocery store isn't very far. I used to bike 10 miles 3x/wk. when we lived in FL. Of course, it was all FLAT there. LOL

  34. That is so sweet. I participate in her Foodie Fridays! Her blog is beautiful.

  35. Congrats on winning the picnic basket, Susan. It's awesome!..Christine

  36. Kansas Amy says

    What a beautiful basket! Looks so fresh, bright and inviting. I bet you are going to come up with a reason to use it soon! Congrats!

  37. once in a blue moon... says

    congrats, zeus and basket are darling~

  38. Farmgirl Susan says

    DONKEY!!!!

    Sorry, as the happy (and crazy) owner of five donkeys (and another one on the way!) I couldn't help myself. 😉

    What a lovely picnic basket! And of course I love your winning entry. So cute. Congratulations! 🙂
