Summer Shade in Progress

This huge white oak tree that towers over my back patio is starting to form leaf buds. It's a wonderful 'sunbrella' that keeps the summer temps down by about 10°.

Three Good Things:
1. The basic things we take for granted
2. Massive old trees
3. KitchenAid stand mixers

must be wonderful when all the leaves are out. Always exciting to see the new buds

Exciting to watch at this time of year
