An indoor Maple Tree turned into what it ought not to be.
I believe it is Geranium, and is still fun to see.
A Tree with roots indoors to boot. But alas, twas only throwing its hoot.
And outdoors I see, the bark of She. And flowers reminding me …
But the silhouette proves differ, and the trunk a bit stiffer,
I am learning slowly.

Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum) has called to me for attention: to take stand and learn the Trees that grow above (and below) the Land. For my Earth Apprentice 2012 Experimence I dedicate myself to the Silver Maple, in hopes that I will understand the trees a bit more, and how to properly identify them. Silver Maple is blooming in my neighborhood. They are one of the earliest Trees to have flowers in the Spring. I plan to make a flower essence and meditate by her base this weekend. I believe I have stowed away under a Silver Maple in my yard, but I can not rely souly on looks. I must learn to speak Tree (and tag along with a Peterson Field Guide to the towering branches).

funny, I ordered a silver maple for out front, but they were out of them, so I received the maple that is out in the front. I think you picked up the vibe that it THINKS it is a silver maple
This is part of the reason Silver Maple called to me to experimence with – it seems to be “friends with” and understand the other Trees in the forest. Silver Mother…
Happy Spring to you!
