Deecember Picnic on the Patio

Another fine, warm and Springlike December day found us lunching at one of my favorite spots, Panera. It was so temperate in fact, that I even managed to talk my husband into carrying our lunch outside and enjoying it on the patio.
Since I had basically skipped breakfast this morning, I was pretty hungry and more than ready to tuck into my favorite combo of Autumn Squash soup, Frontera Chicken Panini and organic Strawberry Lemonade. So hungry, in fact, that I only allowed myself about 15 seconds to set the stage for this shot before I dived right into its hearty deliciousness. Yummmm!
