How many of you remember going outside in the heat of the day to sit under a shade tree with a "palette" or a quilt and some lemonade, cookies a pillow and the hopes of a cool breeze?
Leave a message if you do! I remember those days well. The umbrella tree as my Grandmother Brooks called it. She didn't have one - but we had them in our neighborhoods everywhere. Where have all the umbrella trees gone?
