Whether it be flying geese, pumpkins on porches or frost nipped trees. heres a start: I took these last night, they are a little dark because it was getting late in the day. ~~Tam~ You can bury all your troubles by digging in the dirt.

Some trees are full red, orange or yellow then some are mixed. Wonder why such a difference? I wonder if it could be from different sugar levels or something. ~~Tam~ You can bury all your troubles by digging in the dirt.

They just put it in for the fair. I want to do it next year in my yard. I think I would put it in in the fall when the local nurseries get the flowering cabbage and fall pansies. I would like to try to start the cabbage by seed but I have never had good luck with starting seedlings. I am strong when I am on your shoulders, you raised me up to be more than I can be.

Every spring the pound also puts up a greenhouse and does a booming business with it. Every plant is so well cared for, I buy many things from them each year. I do have flowering cabbage seeds and I plan on trying them. Merme We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart?

We don't have a lot of color here yet, and it looks like it might be another year where we don't get great color because of the heat we are experiencing this week. Is that a coral bark Japanese maple? I have one that looks just like that picture!

My two burning bushes were severly damaged from the storm and had to be cut back, they are only a foot high. Nice to see someone else's in full blazing colour. I love Japanese maples but they need a lot of protection to overwinter here. They do sell them cheaply though, only $65. Don't know what variety they were though. ~~Tam~ You can bury all your troubles by digging in the dirt.

The reason I ask, is that it appears to have the red (coral) colored bark that mine does, with the same colored leaves. Gee......... who might that someone else be? WOW - I got very lucky if that Japanese Maple is $200! I know they are expensive, but I found my small one at Home Depot a few years ago for about $30!!! It would be a bit larger by now if the @#$@%^ deer didn't eat it down every year!
