I Think I Can, I Think I Can...

I swear I can hear the maple tree in the front yard chanting, I Think I Can, I Think I Can while it's working hard to change colors.

I can tell... it really wants to... but there are only about 20 leaves that have succeeded so far. Just like a watched pot never boils... I need to quit being so pushy when I go out and talk to it. It's rebelling like a teen.

Here are two jewels it has displayed for me this week....



Worth the wait, don't you think?

I lot prettier than our honey locust... blech. The tiny leaves turn a sickly yellow then fall into our front yard in sad little gatherings... no fun piles of leaves.

Your tree will be gorgeous in a week's time!

So pretty! We don't have many maple trees here (which is dumb considering the leaf is on our flag LOL) so our fall colors are mostly yellow and orange. I think it's so pretty with some red in there. I guess they must be somewhere in Canada.
