Could it be a Japanese Maple? That would fit with the Acer identification that Eileen made. A close-up of a leaf, and another of the bark would...
I'm with you Toni! We moved to Texas to stay away from family members, and so far it's worked. I don't twitter and I don't tweet, but I do...
Calves' foot jelly is an aspic made from the hooves of calves. A calf's hoof has more of the gelatinous material than an older cow's hooves...
