Michael's Maple


The silver maple tree is so leaded with seeds this year that it appears more tan than green. This happens on sort of a three year cycle. Which means I will be pulling hundreds of baby maple trees, known in this instance as weeds, from every possible place they might choose to lodge themselves and sprout. This includes but is by no means limited to flower beds and pots, the compost, cracks in the driveway, the rain gutters, and the spaces in between the deck boards. I do wish they would be a little more sensible about proper spacing.
