Tree in Vieux Chambly

Shade of the old tree
lovers stroll midsummer day
thirsty lips quench
…rapids muffle gentle moans
…nature’s river dance

      I have such fond memories where my children grew up and I blossomed there too.

        It was…in the next few weeks I will be posting photos of the fort along the water and the picnic areas where we spent many afternoons from my visit on Friday. Many will be posted on my other blog too.

        It is cool this week and I have even had to puthte heat back on…drops to 8C at night and today is 14 but climbing back slowly. The humidity however makes our bodies very achy.

    Hm…don’t think you are talking about eating strawberries and cherries by the riverside here, somehow! Your words are danderous, sweet Tournesol, dangerous!
