Aquarelle Breakfast under the big birch

In his book "A Home", Carl Larsson writes: "On sunny and not so sunny days we eat behind the house below the big birch tree and, do you know, that really tops it off! If it wasn't for the birch tree the whole place would be of no value to me. It gives such a magnificent shadow and it's just windy enough to make the mosquitos go elsewhere."
