Winter Prunings

This year Rod and I pruned all the established trees that we have planted in the garden in an attempt to improve shape and performance. I decided to bring these Manchurian Pear branches inside. To our surprise they went on to blossom and leaf. The tree outside is only now, several weeks later looking like it is about to break forth with flowers. I have now done the same with Prunus Blireana. Stay tuned.

Maple Jewels

Nature continues to deliver surprises. The rain drops on this Japanese Maple really do look like jewels. Very attractive.

How professional is this?

After a blog drought I will tempt your attention with this Chocolate Mousse torte that Aly baked for our latest family birthday celebration. Need I say there are now no left overs.
