Here is the complete list of all Norman Rockwell magazine covers. Most of us long for a day we can "waste" daydreaming under an old tree. This boy is enjoying such a luxury. Accompanied by his dog, he is alone with his thoughts. His solitude is interrupted only by the sound of moving water and occaisonally the wind blowing through leaves or grass.

This boy hasn't a care in the world.
Ah, if only we could join him...
