Oak Tree

When we moved here, 28 years ago, this oak was just a mere twig. I said then that we should tank it out, but was out voted. Now it's giving a whole lot of shade to the southwest corner of our lot. It's too big and I'd rather not have it, then again, ask me about it when the hot days come around again.
Today we went to our first summer Solstice Verbiage party. Friends started the tradition about twenty years ago for a winter party to counter the headache that can be Christmas. It was fun. Poems, a short story, a sing-along to a clever song about yoga, and more.
