Catskills Picnic Dreams: What to Pack for a Day Among the Pines
“A real picnic isn’t a meal. It’s an invitation. An open window to the good old earth.”
There’s something quietly revolutionary about spreading a blanket beneath the pines, letting the Catskills’ breeze tousle your hair, and declaring that for this afternoon, time is measured only by the length of sunlight on moss.
This dream picnic isn't all about being perfect, it's more about being present- picking stuff that jazz up a regular meal into a party of location, peeps, and the skill of taking it slow.-
