Playlist: Let’s Go On A Picnic / Lay In The Grass

Is it warm where you are? Is it at least warmer than it was last week? If so, maybe it’s a good time to go outside — perhaps even eat some food while you’re there! I’m thinking that there must be literally zillions of people like me who are going to will spring to happen and also like sitting on blankets and eating food with their hands, and I’ll bet my bottom dollar you’re one of them!

If you have the right weather for listening to this outside, please do that. But if not, put your sunglasses on inside and live the dream anyway.

  1. It’s summer here already.

    On a side note the Library of Congress this week chose to put “The Miseducation of Lauren Hill,” among others, to be preserved in their collection.

  2. Yesssss everything about this is perfect. So excited for springtime and sunshine and music and laying on the grass!

    • Love this playlist! It’s been warm in the Southwest but I needed to get a sunnier state of mind (cheesy, I know) so I thanks!
