A pair espaliered each side the largest window.
Blooms, colorful fall foliage, exfoliating winter bark. Sometimes a bird's nest. 
Each year this most terrible time arrives. Awful. Faded blooms & a year of vigorous growth it's time to PRUNE. I natter on about espalier this-or-that but it's never easy. Pruning off faded glory. Why? I know it will produce next year's beautiful show. .
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

Ah this is always the thing, next year in the process of planning before this year has fully unfolded.
I can handle that view out of your window.
Planted my first quercifolia 'Alice' last year. I hope she flowers though in a lot of shade, we'll see.
Prunning, exactly what I have been doing for the last 2 days. Mixture of sadness & hopefulness.
You've got an awesome blog.. and after all the fading.. next year will bring in prettier and amazing.. bloom...
