It's my little "Live Oak" but it's the biggest tree we have and it feels very grand in the order of things.<BR/><BR/>The neighbor boy gave me the greatest compliment on the painting. He came in while I was painting and said, "That's the tree in your yard, isn't it?" I replied, "Yes." And then in an almost dreamy way he said, "Where are the boards?" I knew what he was talking about because there are boards in that tree, but I had painted them of my picture. He and my son had built their own simple "tree dwelling" by wedging boards between the strongest branches. <BR/><BR/>When I told him that the boards were still there, he seemed satisfied and said, "I've spent a lot of time in that tree." <BR/><BR/>It made me happy that my picture brought all that back for him (oh, that we could all remember spending time in a tree!) and perhaps when I paint it again, I shall include the boards : )Katherine Doergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09122813941600332480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3035171935914327715.post-22979650499049869132008-04-30T17:40:00.000-07:002008-04-30T17:40:00.000-07:00Is this the elm in Katherine's yard?
