This is the one is in the front yard. It’s a beautiful tree in front of an unsightly background of 1. parking lot w/cars and 2. red brick building, approximately of the same shade of red as the leaves on the tree.

Love the tree though. When we move away however, spouse is likely to leave it behind as he did last time we moved. We’ve “visited” the other Japanese Maple that he planted at our old place and it’s doing well–the gardeners haven’t killed it yet.

 

...was a beautiful day. :)

edit/ though it helps if I change the status to "anyone"  from "private" when I'm all finished with the post.

Happy weekend Y'all!

Gah! It seems that Vox and Google Picasa do not play well together. At risk of be redundant here are the pics from the Picasa photo album in this post as itt's acting pretty dodgy:

Yesterday, despite the soaring temperatures outside, I felt like an unbearable, cold awfulness was enveloping me.

Though simplistic sounding, when bad things happen to me the sooner I can get going on something positive--move forward--beyond--the worst thing for me is to be stuck spinning my wheels going 'round and 'round with self-doubt, insecurity, fear---the sooner I can pack things up and move on, the better.

My mind has been racing so I haven't slept much at all in the last 24 hrs.

Replaying and replaying what was one of the biggest left-field occurrences to have happened to me in more than a year.

Reeling, I tried to process it all so I could let it go, move beyond it, but the grip of fear held tight.

Finally, a few hours ago this thing, this ugly good-for-nothing baggage that I was heaving around--I put it down.

I've stopped--for now anyway--trying to figure out why people do the inhumane things they do. I realize that I was let off pretty easy. I've landed on my feet, making a good recovery.

 

Our front "yard"-- it's a condo so technically, no. Shhh! Don't tell my spouse.
