Dear Liza,
Our nighttime temperatures are heading toward freezing, and the Hundred Acre Wood is finally changing color.
The lanky larch is getting yellow and losing its needles.The evergreen juniper stays green, of course. And the Japanese maple, Toranaga-sama, is getting red on his lower leaves.
Because the nights are so cold, we have brought all the plants up by the house. The acacia’s red blooms look so pretty with the red leaves!
And when you lean over and see them from above, it’s even better. The moss sure looks happy, right?
Sometime this winter I will scissor train the maple and the larch, and trim up the juniper. I can’t wait until spring when it all starts over again.
Love,
Grandma Judy
