My apologies for not blogging lately, but I was on holidays.\u00a0 And as usual when you go on holidays there is much to do before you leave and lots to catch up on when you get back.\u00a0 While we enjoyed the nice beautiful hot weather by the lake, when I got back you can imagine my horror to seeing how the plants are coping with the heat.\u00a0 Alot of the Japanese Maples leaves’ are burning as well as many of the other trees, some are defoliating altogether.\u00a0 But one Japanese Maple is sitting out in the bright sun and doing well –\u00a0and it is my favourite.\u00a0 I take billions of pictures around here and I always take some of that guy.\u00a0 It’s funny cause when it was little he didn’t look so good – so we put him in the back field where he couldn’t be seen.\u00a0 Now look at him!\u00a0 Cinderella story or what!\u00a0 When customers come in I always point out my beauty tree but don’t really make an effort to sell it.\u00a0 They always ooh and ahh on how beautiful it is! And expensive!\u00a0 So\u00a0I am confident my tree will be here for a while.\u00a0 It was a beautiful bright red in the Spring and looked great against the evergreens and the Princeton Maple.\u00a0 And it is still a nice red now – can hardly wait til fall.\u00a0 So you can imagine my horror when a couple was interested in the tree.\u00a0 Oh – how they tried to show them something else but the couple kept coming back to that tree.\u00a0 And then -egad\u00a0– they bought it!!!\u00a0 Agggh!\u00a0 And then to add more pain – they wanted it\u00a0the next day!\u00a0 Not alot of time for parting photo ops!\u00a0 But I did.\u00a0 I waited til the end of the day for the sun not to be so bright and then I could catch the red of the leaves.\u00a0 They dug it after I left and\u00a0it was already tarped when I got it in the next morning.\u00a0 What!!!! So I told the crew leader who was planting it that day to phone me when he was close to the customer’s house so I could come down and take some photos.\u00a0 The clients who purchased the tree were fine to let me take some photos (they were very nice!).\u00a0 So I happliy clicked away.\u00a0 I must say it looks beautiful in front of their home, but the island bed where it stood looks naked.\u00a0 It’s weird how you get attached to some things. And I must say – I miss my tree.\u00a0 Really – I mean it is a tree for pete’s sake!\u00a0 I have billion things to blog about but today it is about my tree.\u00a0 The client’s said they would send some pictures of my baby when the landscaping is done – hope they do!<\/p>\n
