I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately.

And to picnic. And to swim.












































Bless sunshine, and Saturdays, and the Seawrights for coming back from Portugal to take us to Concord, as well as Elizabeth's delicious cookies that reinstated Dessert First Adventure Club before our picnic on a perch. Bless vegan sandwiches made with produce from a farmer's market and eating potato salad out of plastic bags. Bless Katie and her precious mandolin and ginger chews. Bless Jessica and all of her transcendentalism. Bless Thoreau and Walden Pond forever.
