Most people associate Florida with sandy beaches and palm trees but for me, Florida is about live oak trees and spanish moss.  | |

My husband is from Tallahassee and we had the privilege of living in that lovely city for six years. I adored the canopy roads on which the trees were allowed to overhang, creating a green ceiling draped with moss. A single live oak tree can shade an entire back yard! They live to be hundreds of years old. I love to imagine who might have enjoyed the shade of these trees 300 years ago before the European settlers arrived.This past weekend, Bob and I enjoyed a family reunion under the shade of two massive live oaks, draped with moss. I loved seeing my Florida family again and rejoiced over the beauty of the trees that made our reunion comfortable even on a bright spring, Florida day.
