Are you going to ride the bumper cars?

Not this year. The Delta variant is gaining ground, numbers of infected people are rising again.

Well, a lot less 'rattling' than using a jackhammer by hand -

I’ve used electric and compressed air jackhammers.

Yep, just once for me as a teen - father rented one and I had a crack at it! Felt like the cartoon left above - cannot remember the specific type but it came up to my shoulders. Dave

Japanese Maple in Our Front Island - first pic below from 2 years ago (neighbor's house) - next 2 pics from today (sun's angle caused some haze; second pic from a different angle). Again, this was a 'baby' from out big maple in the back transplanted to the front when only about 3-4 ft high; now I cannot get my hand around the trunk - taller and filling out nicely. Dave

How big will it get?

How big will it get?

Well, its parent (probably close to 50 years old) in the back shown below is likely 40+ ft tall (and needs to be trimmed) - not sure exactly the 'variety', i.e. its leaves are not as bright red in the fall as expected but may be an age-related trait? So, the 'baby' in the front yard will certainly get a lot bigger but may take another 10 years or so, my guess? Dave

Here’s hoping you’re still around to see it reach full size.
