THE PICNIC
Summer is the usual time for picnics, but mother arranged a jolly one for us last fall.
Instead of cotton or muslin dresses, the girls wore flannel ones. The boys left their collars and neckties at home, and wore old blouses and overalls. We all wore woolen sweaters.
We did not go in carriages. We walked across the pasture, through the orchard to the grove on the other side of the swamp. Ours was a nutting party.
Our picnic was different from summer picnics in other ways. Instead of cold lemonade we had hot cocoa, and we ate our lunch in the sunniest place we could find, by a great rock. It was almost night when we reached home, and we all ran to the fire to warm our fingers and toes.
