It may have just been a coincidence that the weather was sunny now that Fandom was back home in Maryland, but no one was going to complain.
Okay, maybe they were going to complain a little since the sun meant it was in the high 90s 32C outside, but that just meant there was a good excuse for all the ice cream on the buffet table of picnic food.
There was the usual second table set up as well, stacked with nametags and lists to help folks locate their siblings and roommates. Once the chairs were set up and the tables were glittered, it was time to welcome the new folks and start a new semester!
[OCD is up! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting
siblings,
roommates, and
teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening
here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]
