I never know who's going walk down my driveway. That keep things exciting at times.

In this case, it wasn't as much of a surprise as I had invited Young Choe to visit a couple years ago, on one of her tours through New England. The last week she has spent in New England giving Kusamono workshops. I had received an email from the Pioneer Valley Bonsai Club that Young was doing a demonstration for them. So I knew she was around. My buddy, Rex Mark told me I should reach out to her. When I did, she said she'd like to visit O'Brien's. Seems she saw a facebook post by Les Allen about O'Brien Nursery.

Young Choe is my first visitor from the United States National Arboretum, in Washington, DC! Boy, did we have fun talking about plants!

Most of the year I enjoy watching the phases of the Moon. This time of the year I don't have the time.

Imagine my joy to see this while watering at dusk tonight.

Get out and take a look in the Western sky, the Moon with Venus.

The cool temperatures have helped keep things in bloom for a long period of time, that's about to change. So I took a walk tonight to capture some of the early May beauty.

Enjoy, hope to see you in the garden.

Yesterday mornings weather conditions were perfect for a Japanese Maple to take flight. Despite a few delays from mission control , we were able to get this maple out and on its way!

It takes a team to accomplish this type of project. Special thanks to Don Ford, Keith Bedard, and Patrick Hanley for their contributions to make this transplant go quite smoothly.
