Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree

A perfect tree for resting. Summer 2006.

"Vacations are a little like love - anticipated with relish, experienced with inconvenience, and remembered with nostalgia." ~ Unknown
It was hot, really hot in Brooklyn this summer. This was a day for shade but I wanted to go to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden one more time before we had to head back to Virginia. We found this large tree with a wide expanse of limbs and leaves that mushroomed from the main trunk and brushed the ground at the perimeter. We had to bend over to get under and through the branches but we were rewarded with a wonderful place to rest, quiet and hidden away from view. This trunk was uniquely C-shaped and the perfect place to relax; though I doubt it was a chestnut tree.

Many people also think about enhancing the overall look of garden statues and garden
water fountains as elements for garden decor but
they are puzzled where to get these garden supplies.

Like I stated earlier, the landscaping can be abstract while still maintaining
unity through other elements such as rocks, plants, and
decor.

Greenstar is an award-winning juicer internationally since year
1993. It applies power to cut through that skin and then to
squeeze out a lot more juice than what you could get when using a traditional lemon squeezer.

In flip, you can anticipate that the unit is not inclined to depreciation
scares.

It really is exceptionally simple to buy single colored Xmas
lights, or strands with a distinct color combination to meet your decorating requirements.

Should you are inclined to make a snowy impact, use icicle-shaped white Xmas lighting about the roof edge.

We found a tree that was perfect for us, however the
time that it took along with the misery that it entailed was not something which I care to repeat.
