The summer keeps slipping away, and with it opportunities for leisurely outdoors activities. Menupages reminds us that summer is the time for picnics, and that it's not too late to enjoy meals al fresco on a blanket. They'll be posting weekly on local parks that are ideal dining rooms; first up is Penn Treaty Park, which gets a thumbs up. We are embarrassed to say we were totally unfamiliar; seems like other folks are too, since it remains at least "somewhat uncrowded." Not for long!
