I might not have thought to climb under this tree and play, but it was perfect for my little boys. Later I learned that the kids who wait for the bus near this tree play under it a lot too. Thank goodness that this tree is in a yard with friendly folks who don't use dangerous chemicals on their lawn and are open to allowing childhood to be truly a time of wonder.
I am thankful to all those people who let me climb and walk their walls, sneak through their yards in a shortcut to school, and jump on and off their snowbanks when I was a child.
