Love Maple trees. Had a hugh one in my yard in Massachusetts. Lasted for about 60 years before the people that live there had to have it taken down. Miss it now when I visit them.
We had to have one of our Maples taken down late last summer in our front yard, but still have the other one on the other side of our drive, shades the house from the hot west sun during the day.
Autumn is my favorite season. I just love the colors and the weather! I also want to take this opportunity to wish all my American players a Happy Thanksgiving. I know I don't write a lot, but I do enjoy the people who play. I am thankful that you are all very nice people. Again, have a blessed holiday to all. Don't eat too much turkey!
