It was obvious we were all trying to set a comfortable social distance so we could talk. I suggested we all pick a tree as our place to stay while we chatted. Along the Mall, on sidewalks, and in many other parks in the city, trees are well spaced for safe social distancing.&#0160;<\/p>\n<p>This morning Sarah (the lovely human who slid her scarf down so we could see her smile) and Harriet (the lovely dog who is always smiling) grabbed a tree while we talked and they agreed to be my models for this post. Sarah suggested that when it is not as wet as today, you can even lean on the tree!<\/p>\n<p>My favorite quote for today is from a truly great man, Warren Buffet.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"color: #a2a2a2; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>About Photo Tales &amp; Quotes:<\/strong> We keep hearing that people miss our cover photos that ran for years in&#0160;the Back Bay Sun.
