the time of the momiji Tweet

After the first Japanese maple a few years ago, two more joined us last year, and then yet three more this autumn. Each time, they grew smaller and smaller. Which is ironic, considering that they are slow growing and will hardly ever get taller than me. There is method in my madness, though: I'm having another go at bonsai fashioning and decidedly keeping it all outdoors this time. Which at this time of year works a treat :) I have a chair by the momiji table, and spent a few moments this late afternoon contemplating single leaves, at times. I love my Japanese streak.
