Caine’s birthday was a week ago today and this just arrived in my inbox. It’s from Raucous Indignation and I think it’s special – So special, in fact, that I decided not to hold it back until Tree Tuesday next week.
I have had a lengthy absence from the blog, but the tree was planted this Spring. It is a fire maple/silver maple hybrid. Very hardy with dramatic colors. The tree is doing well and dropped it leaves a few weeks ago. It’s at the end of the line of cherry, maple and oaks bordering the driveway. It’s to my left every night I come home.
Next, the puppy!

May it grow to be a mighty tree!
Most things start small.
I hope it grows to a wondrous height and girth. I think a birch and elm will be next in line. And I hope to replace many of the apples next year. Two dawn redwoods were planted down by the pond a couple years ago. They are now well established and growing rapidly.
