As I was arriving at home the other day, I opened my eyes to the beauty of the maple tree in my front yard and suddenly realized just how fast time has gone by. I didn't plant this tree, it was done by the developers, but I did nuture it a lot, especially in those first years. The neighbors got the same variety, but mine thrived a bit more than theirs. The above picture was from late autumn, 2000 and we'd had a light dusting of snow.
And here's the tree this autumn, eight years later. I think it's prettier than it's ever been-- even with our near drought summer.
