Life really can be a picnic!

Everyone loves a picnic! This blog is about some of the things I love the most, and the term "picnic" just about covers them all. First of all, a picnic has to include food; simple food that is easy to fix. Next, you need someplace fun or different to visit; a nice, peaceful location. And of course, you always need to take along a good book to read and a well-used quilt to spread everything out on. So, there you have it! Easy recipes, good books, fun quilts along with some interesting, down-to-earth places to visit. You can even take your family or a friend or two if you want.

Irish Chain

"We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." ~ Will Durant





 


     This is a little quilt that I was almost able to finish during our Quilt Retreat this month.  It's another one designed by Nancy Halverson of Art to Heart.  I'm still working on a larger quilt I started. 






     Since I haven't posted any St. Patrick's Day recipes yet.  I'll just have to throw in a recipe for a green smoothie!

    

Pineapple Green Smoothie

1/2 sliced cucumber
1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1 cup baby spinach
1 medium ripe banana
½ cup almond or coconut milk
1/2 cup apple, pineapple or white grape juice
1 (5.3 oz.) carton Greek yogurt (pineapple flavor if you can find it)
 
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend for 2-4 minutes or until smooth.  Serves 2.







This was a fast read by Earlene Fowler.  It's one of the books in her Benni Harper series.  It was sort of a romance  mixed with a murder mystery.
