A simple meal, even your favorite sandwich with chips/fries and a cold drink will taste better with the backdrop of nature or a beautiful garden area.
All it takes is an extra 15 minutes to grab a tray-a colorful plate and napkin [ cloth ] and invite your sweetheart to join you. The first time [without guests] you do this he may be caught a bit off guard and be wondering 'what's up' with this? Make it a habit on beautiful weather days and he will begin to see it for what it is- a loving gesture that says "I want to spend time with you."
I think you will find yourselves lingering longer over your ordinary meal..making another sweet memory.
By the way- you don't have to have a sweetheart to do this..grab a friend. That works too.
Looking Forward ~

Now that evenings are cooler I think I'll suprise my love with your idea, :)
ReplyDeleteSo true!! ANYTHING. Tastes better when eaten outside...as long as the gnats & skeeters are miles away!
ReplyDeleteI've been able to linger outside & I love it!!
Hope all is well. I'm better! Prayer works!
With company like you and a scene like that, there should be lots of lingering. We used to eat out on the patio a lot when my kids were little. It's finally starting to get nice out here this week, so maybe we'll find ourselves out there soon!
