Pretty Monday: House in the Trees

"I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do."  ~Willa Cather, 1913


One of the many things I have in common with octogenarians is my love of 60 Minutes and CBS Sunday Morning.  Both programs always enlighten me, cause me to ponder and offer some form of visual delight.  

On a recent Sunday Morning dedicated to summer pleasures, a segment pondered the childhood fantasy of a treehouse.  What kid doesn't dream of creating a hideaway, up in the trees?  


It turns out adults (mostly those with lots of disposable income like Sting and Val Kilmer) covet treehouses too.  In fact, there is a whole camp of architecture devoted entirely to the construction of treehouses.  So, today, as I am met with many Monday morning challenges and frustrations, I am longing for an escape in the trees.
