What’s not to love about picnics?! Typically, there are friends or family in attendance, baskets packed with delicious food, the beautiful outdoors (hopefully, Mother Nature is behaving herself!), and lots of fun to be had. 😎 Several years back, I wrote a whimsical short story about Emma Woodhouse, Mr. Knightley, and a fairy named Sylvia…who …
