about maple living

I find joy in exploring the wonders of nature and spreading smiles like falling maple leaves. I reside in the vibrant city of Knoxville, Tennessee, where the breathtaking beauty of maple trees surrounds me. They’ve become an integral part of my life, offering shade, tranquility, and endless inspiration.

Family Tales Under the Maple Canopy 

In the heart of my delightful chaos, I share my life with a loving husband and three amazing children. Our family has discovered that maple trees hold more than just leafy treasures; they also provide a backdrop for treasured memories.

Picture this: A sunny autumn day, the ground carpeted in fiery maple leaves. As a family, we gather beneath a majestic sugar maple, giggling and marveling at the vibrant colors above.

Its in these moments like these where my fascination and love of maple trees is rooted, like a leaf in spring, taking root in my heart forever.

The “A-ha!” Moment 

Now, let me share the story of how my maple obsession came to be. It all started on a warm spring morning when a rogue squirrel, with a mischievous glint in its eye, decided to pelt my unsuspecting husband with a maple seed, lovingly known as a “helicopter.” We burst into laughter, as the squirrel stood his ground and stared me right in the eye as if to say “You’re next.”

Since then, I began to unravel the captivating world of maple trees. Their diverse species, from the elegant Japanese Maple to the iconic Sugar Maple, intrigued me. I delved into the rich history of maple syrup production, discovering the sweet nectar of the trees that could transform a stack of pancakes into a breakfast masterpiece.
