Block-A-Day 364 – The Mighty Oak
Today I continue my quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan-Claire Mayfield. This is day three hundred and sixty-four of that project.
What fun!
Lars and Ebba planted this tree soon after they arrived.
Now it’s a mighty oak and can hold anyone who wants to swing on this tire. Grandchildren climb up and pile on and spin around. A single rider can go a long way up.
What you can’t see in this picture is that this tree is on the bank of a swimming hole. You can swing out and jump in if you stand on top of the tire. I wish I could hear the laughter this old-fashioned fun generates.
An innertube or two stays down there for floating in the pond and daydreaming. What a great spot on a hot day to cool off, especially if you’ve been in the hayfield and are hot, sweaty, and itchy from the hay.
Add a beer or soda pop cooler, and you have a heavenly spot in the country.
