Getting a jump start on the Holidays!

bare tree

Was thinking of going Wordless, but now that I roll with spell check there is no need!

For some reason I was in the mood to play around on Photobucket and do a little manipulation on a 'nature' photo.

This 'dead' tree is in our south pasture. Hubby wants to cut it down, but I want to leave it up one more winter so I can hang stuff in it for the birds. When I started playing with the photo it reminded me of my dad.

Years ago my dad took an empty coffee can filled it with gravel, added a de-leafed branch and hung a shot gun shell from one of the limbs. He then took it to his office and set it on his desk.

I know it drove the co-workers crazy wondering what he was up too. Gotta love Dad's spirit of Holiday Humor! Knowing him I doubt he ever told anyone what it was, he just let people form their own opinion of his Christmas Display. It must have been fun to work in an office before the Politically Correct Crowd took over.

You go girl with your creativity! Is it reverse heredity from your son, or did you pass it on to him? =o)

You know you're too early when you're ahead of the shopping malls!

Looks like the 'Benjamin's are up late! Hope you have a great end of the year.

Marantino- I think the kid has way more talent, must have increased each generation, hope he realizes what a gift he has and uses it for good.

Erby- one is Never To Early on the Web- this stuff stays around for awhile.

Question is How Many RAIN-Peers are going out looking for BARE Trees?- he he he

Q2- Did you just have to hum a little 1st Day of ................ to get the pun?

Perfect tree, lots of character, some whouldn't think much of it ... no sense of humor!

I like your dead tree. Dead trees are just another part of Mother and Father Nature's beauty. The following dead tree was left for the woodpeckers, who thoroughly enjoy it.

Dead tree for woodpeckers

Caron- glad you like it

Russel- love your nature marketing contest, I like learning new concepts. Think I am going to tweek this up a bit and have it be my Christmas Mail out.- Thanks for what you do to get people to step out of the box. (Can you start a Holiday one, I need a few points to get me to the 100,000) cw

Hi Cheryl!

I have a bare one that fell in my back yard. It's just laying there... waiting for me & my chain saw.

Happy HolidayS!!

PS: I'll help you decorate yours, if you help chop mine up?

Kevin,,sorry but you are on your own. I am on a self-imposed NO CHOP at the moment. I will stop by your blog and see if there is anything else I can not do. (good to 'see'ya) cheryl

I have a couple of those trees in my yard! Aren't you clever with the photobucket. Another thing I need to learn...

Captian- looks like Russel (#6) is giving permission to let them be. I am sure that ours will still be there for awhile. Yard work is not high priority right now! cw
