Every weather report says something different, so here's the plan: 

A. In regular weather, picnic takes place as usual in the "front yard" of the rectory. 

B. If rain/lightning, picnic takes place in the parish hall. 

C. If intermediate, picnic takes place closer to the columbarium/parish side of the yard from where we can take shelter in the parish hall should the rains begin. 

The chicken needs to marinate for at least a day, so we're moving ahead with the picnic as I have several pounds of fowl covered in jerk sauce and don't want to spend the next month eating it. Also, beer and sangria!
