Maple the Fourth Be with You on Wordless Wednesday
Nature is a force beyond our control.
May the 4th Maple Leaves
Partially inspired by Hugh’s Views and News new post and the fact that today marks the Star Wars sagas’ “May the Force Be With You,“ I couldn’t resist sharing my baby maple tree’s emerging spring blooms alongside last Fall’s leaf for Wordless Wednesday.

A lovely pun – and incredible to see that flow. May the fourth be with you too, Terri. Toni x
Happy Wednesday, Terri … Love the maple leaves pic! I’ve been a bit time-challenge of late – but trying to get it together. Hope all is well with you and yours!
Oh I love the maple buds and old leaf! May the Fourth be with you as well. I am reminded of a trip to Edinburgh where we crossed the Firth of Forth and I said to Superhubs “The Forth is with us … always.” 😉
Thanks, Jacqui! When I saw Hugh’s WW post I immediately thought at 7am this morning that I need to jump on May the 4th, and Wordless Wednesday. Maple rhymes with May, which once I uttered it out loud, it knew it was perfect (if not geeky). You get it my friend!
I’ve noticed the young trees are slower to leaf out, possibly due to the amount of sap running through the system. Many adult trees around here are almost fully leafed out. Thanks for the timely post, Hugh!

Even better with nature in the geekism.

Many of our trees are already in full leaf, Terri. Probably due to the much milder climate we have in Wales.
Thanks for the link to my recent post.
May the 4th be with you.
