We saw you headin' back with a shovel, Miss Katherine

There's a cacophony of noise in Green Lake today. Music is playing, people are shouting, children are laughing and singing, and all about there are the sounds of firecrackers and sparklers and foods simmering and games being played.

It's Green Lake's annual Fourth of July picnic.

Katherine is carrying a basket of spiced peaches over one arm as she makes her way to the Hawthorn residence, where she'll meet up with Doc and a few others before heading over to the festivities.

She looks stunning in a fine white dress, hair done up off her neck, with a single white daisy behind one ear.

But the smile on her face is what really makes her radiant.
