I do love picnics

Even the chilly ones.  Ron, Ava and I had the inaugural picnic of the season Saturday.  We went out to Birch Bay, where Ava loves to collect shells (she likes the broken pieces just as much as whole ones), dig in the sand, and collect cups of water from the bay. We didn't bring any dessert, so we could bribe her home with the promise of something sweet.  We were glad of that plan, because as the sun began to set it got very cool.  At least Ron and I thought so; Ava would probably still be there digging if she'd had her way.....
