I took a similar photo under my cypress tree. The green is so bright and inviting. I love how you turn a phrase as you turn perspective.

Mary Lee, I’m loving reading your cheritas each day on Instagram. Sycamore’s purse and “green quarters” makes me smile.

Such perfect personification. I want to sit with Sycamore and enjoy the shade wit her.

I love the new way you’re giving us of looking at the world in new ways, Mary Lee. We have snow today but after, when it melts, I expect receiving some shade this week! I’ll remember!

Oh, how I miss my sycamore tree and her quarters of shade (and her fuzzy seed pods). Enjoy yours!

Personifying the sycamore — she feels so thoughtful and dainty in this poem. But she’s also a savvy shopper!
