Eating Al Fresco

I love to eat al fresco
When the weather is just right.
An ice-cold beer, good company – 
An absolute delight!

The meal is second fiddle
To the atmosphere and mood.
With gentle breeze and glowing sun,
Who cares about the food?

The northeast has a limit
On that perfect circumstance
So I try to take advantage
When presented with the chance.

It is a pleasure to eat al fresco in good company, Ilene, as long as no mosquitos and flies come pestering:) #7 Regards // paul
