Fall Picnic


A friend from church came over the other day for lunch and we had a lovely picnic on the porch! It was a beautiful day to be outside (maybe a little warm for soup still!) and Emily LOVED getting to eat her lunch outside!


I was inspired by Mrs. Wilt to make this variation on her popcorn and tealight jar - which we used on the table. I have one on the kitchen window sill and another on the porch to light in the evenings. After all, we all remember how much I love canning jars!


For lunch we had: baked potato soup, leaf shaped sandwiches, and salad with apples and walnuts. It was a delicious combination! You can freeze the scraps from the bread and cheese cut-outs and make a breakfast sausage and egg casserole to use them up!
