everyone should have an aspen outside their bedroom! they seem to be constructed to be outside-bedroom-trees... this is ours. i love listening to the sounds the leaves make when they shake in the wind. and somehow their nervous waving is calming to watch when i can't sleep. i don't think we'll have an aspen outside our new bedroom, but i've taken lots (!) of photos of this one. maybe i can keep them in an album on my bedside table, so i can remember it on sleepless nights to come...
