Under the old tree I have a favorite picnic place under a 150-year-old tree alone in the middle of the field. Only a small graveyard from the 1800s is close by. I like to sit under it with my sandwich and think about all that tree has seen. I wonder if children used to play there and why it is still there all alone, or if long ago others had picnics there. I end up taking a long nap and dreaming of what may have been right there in my picnic place. Annie Chisenhall, Newport | Carteret-Craven EC |
