Lawn Games....in Dresses!

Dear ladies,

As Spring reveals more and more lawn beneathe the melting snow, I think of all that lush green carpeting God has given us. What a blessing an expanse of lawn can be, especially as a great source of exercise.

My three favorite lawn games also happen to be great games to play femininely: Croquet, Badminton, and Lawn Bowling (Bocce Ball). Can you just see it now? It's a lovely Spring afternoon under the shade of a giant oak over an expanse of rich green moss and grass, the ladies in muslins and lace play an invigorating game of badminton, a friendly game of lawn bowling, or a playfully competative game of Croquet.

You can probably go to any department store and buy all three sets for a fairly low price. Or just dig in your garage or shed and see if you still have that old one collecting dust. Start a tournament with your children and spouse this spring, or perhaps even with friends. Play a game or two during a nice day for some exercise, and for some added fun, dress up to do so!
