Please feel free to post every day or when you you feel like it. Don’t forget that my FOTD challenge accepts gardens, leaves and berries as well as flowers.

I’ve gathered a list of challenges and their hosts. So if you know a challenge host, please direct them to my blog. Feel free to contact me anytime. I hope everyone will be able to use my lists.

These are such beautiful trees. I love the contrasting dark purple leaves they have in the fall compared to the regular maple trees. We have a street here that alternates regular maple, elm, and Japanese maple trees. In the fall, the street is nothing but leaves everywhere. But before all the leaves fall, it looks like what I expect all of New England looks like during a fall trip. Love it.

I see that maple from my office window. It was only about 5′ high when we moved into this house. Now it’s about 12 high or higher. 😀

I wanted to take pictures or our Japanese maple which is green, not red, but we were so busy with other things, I never got to it. Thank you for yours. I love our Japanese maple, especially as we grew it from a tiny little thing. It is the first tree to get new leaves in spring and the last tree to lose them in the fall. Beautiful tree — and not so little, either 🙂

I had a beautiful one item my old garden where we used to live… Then got a Tibetan Mastiff pup who decided to strengthen his jaws on it 🤣🤣

I love Mastiff, but they are huge. I can see one wanting to use it on his jaws. Sorry 😦

Little did we know that is how they strengthen their jaws on wood. He chewed the the fence, shed, decking, 3 planters, several bushes until he was about 3 years old. 😀 😀 😀
