Guess what Martha. You and I were born on the same day and year. It is fun to know that I was born when such a talented person like you was born. I love your show and your products. Thanks for being born. Paula

Dear Martha, the pictures of the Japanese maples sure are beautiful. They remind me of the Bluebell and marigold woods in Darlaston England, which used to be such a gorgeous place to sit on a fallen tree trunk and admire the beauty. Sadly, all that is gone now in lew of a housing project. I have a little craft, that was sent to me 60 years ago that I would like to send to you, but I don't know how. Could you take time to show me. I have made this needle case so many times, for gifts to Womans Club, and my meighbors, and I have found it so useful time and again. I don't know whether the friend who sent it to me is still alive, but I don't want the idea to die with me. (I'm 80) I have just signed up for your E Mails, and have already made one of the meals, and plan on making some of the cookies they are a change from the many that I have usually made. Thank you so much for your sharing your many talents.
And isn't it wonderful that at my age I am Computer savvy.

These pictures are absolutely gorgeous. The colors are so vibrant, yet the pictures are so calming. They really are very beautiful.

Hi Martha!

Just lovely fall colors!!! A few of the trees almost look like a dark pink color!
The closest Japanese Garden to me is located in Pasadena at The Huntington...next time you are in Southern California you should see all the lovely gardens they have...Really worth the trip:)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Oh Martha!!! Such beauty is breathtaking to behold. The Japanese maples are gorgeous. Your friends grove of these most beautiful trees is just spectacular. One lady left a comment saying "fairies could live there". I AGREE!! I love the many different shades of pinks and reds. Glorious. Thank you so much for sharing these fabulous photos. Your friends could put pictures of their Japanese maples in a book.

When we were stationed in Georgia our little house had the most beautiful Japanese maple growing in the backyard.
We are now currently in Phoenix. Thank you for bringing a beautiful memory to the forefront of my mind.
