I’ve decided it is a Red maple, no matter what color the autumn foliage turns out to be.

Both my little trees have made it through the summer.
The maple got too dry once, but seems to have recovered. It is tall and skinny, about 2 feet tall. I think it’s going to be the yellow-leaved variety of Carolina Red Maple. If that turns out to be so, I believe I’ll try finding one under the Buddha tree next Spring. It is a gorgeous scarlet in the Fall. They would make a nice pairing.
The cedar has flourished. It has filled out nicely and looks healthy. It’s more like 1 foot.
My Beginner’s Class is Sunday, the 20th. I’m pretty excited. I’m sad that my father’s health keeps him from joining me. But, I look forward to telling him about it. I suspect that these little trees will be happy to for me to know what they need in the way of pots and soil to be healthy. I expect to come back with a much better idea of how to take care of them and get them ready to be actual art rather than simply trees in pots. -
I think this is about a quarter of the nuts that we will get from our bushes. The rest are still green.
I think we need to plant some straight into the ground around the rest of the border of the labyrinth. It looks like they do best when messed with the least.

Planning to get this is the ground soon. I’m very pleased with myself.

I finally cut this. The bundle of stems is about the size of my calf and the actual bouquet is as wide as my chest. There is nowhere in our house with enough space to hang it.
I don’t have a clue what to do with it.
I have dried herbs in the past. But, I frequently leave them to get dusty rather than actually use them.
I, also, know that oregano is more flavorful dried than fresh.
Maybe I’ll spend some TV time tonight breaking it down into more rational sizes.
