Last Friday I took the day off and had plans to have a picnic at Pedernales Falls. The day before I was looking at the hour by hour weather report and my computing machine was reporting an 80% chance of thunderstorms between 11 and 1. Since Perdernales Falls is prone to flash floods it seemed that the world was against me. But I was wrong. The world loves me. Or maybe it feels completely indifferent and I just lucked out. First my friend Kristen brought me some cupcakes.
Then I got some really pretty flowers.
And then I made some olive salad to go in a muffaletta sandwich ’cause olives are my favorite food.
We went to McKinney Falls State Park and there were wildflowers everywhere.
We saw a giant lucky lizard.
But we still found a protected spot for our picnic, just in case. There was no one around, probably because of the scary forecast but it was the most beautiful day.
Dan let me take as many overprocessed photos as I wanted, because it was my birthday.
And then we finally ate the sandwich.
I guess an 80% chance of thunderstorms still means you get a 20% chance of blue sky.
