Foodie Friday: A Picnic in the Country

Note: I'm dipping into the archives to join Barb's Linky party,
the First Ever Wild About Mother Nature Party

I hope you enjoy my fantasy country picnic. The photos are not mine (see my note at the end of the post).
I hope to have a real picnic when I move to the real Rattlebridge Farm and/or finish two more books.
(Mister says, Blech! Zap says, Spits!)
Without further ado, here's the archived post:

This Foodie Friday, we're going on a country picnic.

A long road leads to the farm.

I've got the picnic basket ready--hope you don't mind if a few country ants join us.

Let's unpack the picnic gear and eat.

The menu includes sandwiches, each one tied with string, and apples.

Have a slice of watermelon.

 And a glass of limeade.

I bought the strawberry cake at a church bake sale.

The baby donkeys will stop by for a visit.

"Don't give him my cookie!" Mister yells.

Bertie the goat will collect the leftovers. 

 The geese are waiting patiently for the watermelon rinds.

Here comes Eula the Ewe.

As the smell of fresh hay wafts through the valley...

the humans take a nap.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This human writer is running down the final stretch for A Teeny Bit of Trouble, the sequel to GWAHM, so this picnic is only in my mind's eye, as are the calories. With the deadline looming, all photos were hand-picked for this post at Dreamstime, Shutterstock, and Fotolia.These aren't free services, nor are these photos mine. I purchased a license to use them for this post..please do not Pin--thanks!
