Acer Japonicum

... Or Japanese Maple. 

A gorgeous variety which glows in the evening sunlight.

A happy garden addition and a little beauty. 

Warm sunny day today, my cheeks are tingling.. 

Mrs I, Ell and D have all been busily decorating our dining room and the house is in a chaotic state. 

I kept well out of it. I get very upset when the paint brushes come out, in fact, the last time I did any decorating I was overcome with emulsion..

I hate it. 

I have been busy in the garden and.now we are settling down to a hot meal for supper and a cold beer. 

Bliss. 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend folks, and huge thanks for all the recent comments and stars and hearts. 

I am very thankful for the support of the blip community..
