Sorry about that. It is indeed Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. He's mentioned and quoted and referred to in Charlottesville and especially here at the University so frequently, that you'd think he had just stepped out of the room for coffee rather than being dead for nearly 200 years. I tend to mock the somewhat-pretentious reverence for and familiarity with "Mr. Jefferson" by referring to him as "TJ".

Dang, I've looked and looked and can't find the tags or invoice. I know it's here somewhere, safely tucked away if we need it (read: buried in a pile of DHs magazines). *wink* It is a beautiful tree and is DHs favorite. We bought five trees at the time, and the other four died but they were a different variety. This one has done very well, and we'd love more of them.

Photos are gorgeous...And, Jim, I'm longing for the warmth of anywhere....Being in SW. Pa is no picnic at the beach, lol
