stephanie is: 
confused…
um, so i got home to find someone had taken our garbage can, and left a tree. hmmm. hehe.
i did know that we were getting a tree in the yard. i remembered that it was going to be something birtchy. danny insisted that one of our little shrubberies was the “tree”, and it had been a while so i was starting to believe him. i guess all it took was sacrificing a big green garbage can.
where is are garbage can?? i can only see the lid out there… i am hoping the can will magically appear beneath it.
Like on A Charlie Brown Christmas…
…that tree needs some love and attention.
question???
since i don’t see a car in the driveway, i’m assuming you got home first.
yes people, this race, on December 7th, was won by the speed queen herself, punquin. for winning this dangerous race against all the hooligans on the tollway, including her arch nemisis “The Worlock”, our speed queen earns her place in the winners circle, (err square)”
guess tomorrow Worlock will try to get back first.
Re: question???
that is our neighbor’s driveway actually.
but yea, i feel bad cause danny is supposed to get the garage since his car is nicer than mine. but i get home at least an hour before him so i don’t know what to do!
silly me
I took it! I admit! I needed to throw something out. the tree I left grows garbage cans so you should have a new full sized one in 2-3 years. If you pick them early you’ll get some nice office wastebaskets.
Oh, and did Dan jet up to Providence today for lunch? If not I saw his clone near my apartment. spooky!
that tree is going to look excellent in the spring!
‘Hood-lums
Kids these days, with their tree and garbage can swapping… I’m thinking a garden gnome and the lamppost will be next… I do like the tree, though. I’d trade that for the garbage can anyday. Well, unless it was a really nice garbage can, the kind that magically makes all the garbage disappear in a shimmering light when you fill it. That would be worth holding on to… 🙂
Metamorphosis
It’s a well-known fact that paper clips are the embryonic form of wire coathangers — sometimes you have a million paper clips but can’t find a coathanger to save your life … sometimes it’s the other way around. Well, given the right belief system, plastic garbage cans may be the embryonic form of birch trees.
Admittedly, it’s a bit of a stretch …
The mob needed a way to dispose of a body or two of the people they made “disappear”. so they took the garbage can to haul the pieces of corpse over, buried them in your yard, and put the tree in to make it less conspicuous.
And now for something completely useless.
Your tree looks like a Clump River Birch. One of the hardier birch’s. Since it is located close to the driveway make sure to give it iron supplements in the spring. Ask for celeated iron pronounced key-lated.
They grow very fast. We had some for about 7-8 years. In that time they grew to about 30 feet. Watch for birch borers and yellowing leaves. These are signs of trouble. Trim it regularly.
Told you it was going to be completely useless.
