This post is really for my son, Mark in San Francisco. I wanted to show him how beautiful the plants and trees that he planted last fall have become. And to give him an update on the fence that Mr C has constructed.
Look at these gorgeous lime green Japanese Maples:
Here is the fence. We picked out a black oak stain. Mr C wanted it to blend in with the trees in the back and to match the trim on the house. It looks very nice. He spent half a day yesterday and most of today painting. He has about 3 panels to go.
I am working to finish the passages piece for the Columbia Stitchery show next week. I am doing some hand stitching with Perle cotton before I do the backing and machine quilting.
Don’t forget to send me our bumper sticker photos and click the bumpersticker to see the photos that have come in so far.
Here is a link to my blog with photos of my bumper sticker.

I took photos of my son with his NJROTC friends and a cadet who will be going in the Army in a few weeks.
Thank-you so much for send it to me.
This is looking so nice! By the end of summer it will be absolutely beautiful as everything will have grown some more! The fence is looking nice!
Our Japanese Maples are RED, why are yours Chartreuse??? Is that a personal thingy???
While I detest fences, yours is attractive! Congrats!!
I still need to get a bumper sticker pic to you…soon, I promise. I love the ones you have posted.
Glad you are finally rid of that virus.
