We’ve all heard and are
familiar with the expression “Tree Hugger” in reference to someone who is
environmentally aware and practices what they preach. And a commendable way of
life indeed!
With the subject of nature in
mind – the expression “hug a tree” is used in my family to invite young
grandsons to participate in a rite of Spring, Summer, Fall and even Winter.
Fun, exciting and easy enough for boys everywhere – sometimes to the chagrin of
their very polite mamas whose toilet training methods may not include the great
outdoors!
Today it is blustery and the
skies are snow-filled with prediction of a stormy night ahead. Clients from the
city have come to spend some time interviewing contractors for renovations they
have in mind – and with the cottage already winterized there is no running
water. The lady has been dancing for about an hour or so – but felt reluctant
to drive to town in case she missed the arrival of an appointment!
Eventually, the lady was all
danced out and it was suggested that she seek
a spot out of the wind and find relief. The
hilarity of the idea was simply too much – the giggles put pressure on her nether
regions and the only solution was to, indeed, hug a tree!
One of many “firsts” in the
Muskoka experience!! Yahoo!
