My brother, my dog Rocko and I enjoyed a picnic on Saturday at Queen’s Park in New Westminster.
That park was full of life, as we strolled around in the summer sun and learned there was a wedding in the Rose Garden, a children’s petting zoo, and a water park where Rocko stole a drink of water; a boy’s birthday party was set up to the right of us, and an outdoor fitness class started up in the pavilion, as disco music spilled into the air, and a large extended family gathered beside us for a picnic.
Shaded from the hot sun by the tall, mature trees, we ate potato salad and sandwiches, and happy energy abounded as we spent time in nature.
