Japanese Maples make me happy!

Have you ever put a plant in the perfect spot and loved it?????? My red Japanese maple just outside my front window is and I am in heaven now that I am getting leaves on it!!! Spring is here hence the long awaited post, I've mostly been outside in the yard. I know I am a weirdo.....its been long established that I am addicted to gardening so we don't have to dispute it.
I have to say I totally lucked out with Macey, she is the cutest garden companion she loves her red wagon and as long as she is in it she is happy, all day, she doesn't care. It must be really comfy....
James is determined to learn how to ride his bike without training wheels this summer, good for him! I hope is tall enough! His bike is huge for him!
Sonia mean while is like a fish in water on her bike, she rides it everywhere, most days she just keeps her helmet on, you never know when a riding emergency will arise:)
The trampoline is getting lots of use....by every kid in the neighborhood, I really hope none of them fall of the cliff side of it and sue us!
mike and I have mowed the grass 3 times now and shoveled threee yards of mulch and weeded and planted...when I say Mike and I, I mean Mike with me looking over his shoulder. Ha Ha
LIFE is just rolling along!
