I love this big tree on base.  Every time we walk by it, I ask Max if he wants to get out and climb it and he never does (what???)!  But today he asked if we could go have a picnic under the tree.  My heart is so happy!  Except that it’s been thundering and pouring buckets all day, so it will have to wait.  But we have a picnic under a tree in our future!  I’ll just sit with my back to the barbed wire and pretend we’re on an English estate, a la Jane Austen.
