Under a Spreading Maple Tree

With apologies to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's famous blacksmith,
 it's a spreading maple tree, not a chestnut,
that gives us shade on these hot summer days.  :)

    This looks like a wonderful place to be.

    That poem always gives me chills (but your photo has now given it a much nicer attachment!) -- 1984 is one of those extraordinary books that always linger in your mind.

    Looks like a wonderful place to be, indeed. Just looking at these pictures is making me long for summer - and thankfully it's not so far away! Just a few more months... we're almost there :)
