GARDEN PARTY

You wake up in the morning to the sound of birds singing outside your bedroom window. You open the blinds and know right away it's going to be a perfect day. The garden is mostly mulched and weeded and looks "garden walk" ready. Why not invite friends over for an impromptu party! Parties don't need to be planned weeks in advance, no need to agonize over menus, guest lists, or clean corners. My favorite get together is a "brown bagger". This is not the same as a potluck. Brown baggers bring food for themselves only. You need only supply seating and maybe utensils, drinks and/or desserts. Since my friends aren't i-phoners or texters and don't even check their emails regularly, I have to do a lot of phone calling. But if only a few people are able to come that's okay. How wonderfully relaxing to sit in your garden, enjoying the day and enjoying your friends!
