Once home, after a drive to my old stomping grounds, I went right to the bench under the maple tree. Ahhh! What would we do without these glorious old trees. It was +34C and humid.
My company at tea was St. Francis. haha!
I will never take these big 'ol trees for granted.
I love the grand old maples that circle our little spot here.
This is the best time to enjoy them although the vibrant Fall colours are always admired.
With that, though, comes raking of the leaves 'til the cows come home.

There is something so special about really big trees and how they have stood the test of time. I have a rather large pecan tree, on my new property, too. I have all sorts of ideas about a swing on one of the large branches. Maybe, I'll settle for a bench to enjoy my cup of tea. Yours looks so inviting....
ReplyDeleteThat tree probably remembers when you came to sit under it as a girl. The continuity probably gives it as much comfort as it does you. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteTrees that offer shade are the best! Wonderful place to sit and relax.

Beautiful tree!
ReplyDeleteQuite a good tree!
ReplyDeleteMy mother had a St. Francis statue in her garden too.
Shade is wonderful on hot days!
ReplyDeleteYour big Maple trees are so beautiful. I was noticing yesterday how the Poplar leaves are turning yellow and falling. In fact, I took a picture of one to put on my blog. Won't be long until we will need to start raking AGAIN.
ReplyDeleteAutumn at the mouse house will be breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty, big and shady! Love the bench under that one, too!
