Garden Puppy

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Here’s a photo of our puppy, Paddy. My pal Wendy Tweten calls him Paddy Paws. It turns out Wendy’s year older dog Dobby is actually Paddy’s several litters older brother. It was such a great coincidence from one garden writer to another – I told Wendy about Paddy and when we chatted we discovered they had the same mother and father. Both of our dogs love being out in the garden.

Paddy says, “Please pick up your pet waste. It’s a good thing to do. And it keeps all our paws, streams and gardens clean and pretty.”

Japanese Maple Photos

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

As promised, to whet your appetite for Japanese maples, here are several photos of a few from my own garden:

Full Moon Maple with Pacific Nine Bark and rhododendron.

This red beauty is called Acer palmatum “Koto no ito” – it is a stunner. Starts out quite small in stature and then grows up into a stately beauty.

This one is very charming and sweet. Wish I knew its name. Sorry about that. The leaves are quite small and it is open and airy.

Here’s a close up of the leaves.
