Lovely write...remind me of our days in Europe having picnics with the whole family. Joyfull in every manner! ! !
The varied scenes that flash across during a family picnic! When people take a break from their monotonous routine, they never bother a light drizzle or even stray animals stealing a bit of a morsel! A very enjoyable scene beautifully depicted! !
Lovely picnic that present around the river dance, which fertile the garden along it moving lines_Soul

Wish I was there. Love picnics as much as the ants do! ;) Lovely imagery.
I could almost see the ants rushing toward the picnic basket. Enjoyed this very much.
Reminds me of our childhood picnics in the Pennines with my sister three brothers and Lovely poem of bygone days Thanks for sharing
Not a single scene is missed from this commonly shared occasion of family picnic at the river side, even dog's stealing a piece of pie...the poem has a clearly featured design of lines 1 & 4 in all stanzas...a poetic variety! ! !
A beautiful flow of words pictured in my mind. Thank You David
