Graveyard Picnic Recipes For Fall
If you haven’t had a picnic in a graveyard yet this month, I highly recommend adding it to your Halloween to-do list, especially if you live in an area where the fall foliage is vibrant. There is nothing more peaceful or spooky than enjoying a meal in a graveyard. Just please be respectful and pick up behind you when you leave.
