george, was that you?!


this is what's left of the spot where my cherry tree used to be after saturday night. unlike george washington however, the %^&* person who did it just yanked it out by the roots instead of chopping it down. i doubt that george cut HIS tree down to be spiteful, although i guess you never know. people suck sometimes.



never fear though. stores sell cherry trees, and i got a new one. will plant it tonite, and stand 24 hour watch at the window...!




on a completely unrelated note, this pic is for kirsten!! aaaaaaaaaaagggghhhh! the false indigo is so insanely cool, i cannot stand it!!!!!

:) happy monday y'all.

it does not disappoint, but you should place it in a part sun/part shade area.

kirsten recommeded it to me a couple years ago, i got this one at highland nursery in st. paul!

Karen said...

Thanks. Can I plant it mid-June?

Missed the ya'll reference the first time through. :-)

Happy Monday back!

People can be so mean. I bet it's the same folk who come UP ON MY FRONT PORCH to steal pumpkins with $20 candles in them within inches of my babies window...

GRRRRRRR...

purple is pretty...

can't believe someone stole your cherry tree...now i'm really worried about your garden produce. i know they make scarecrows, do they make scarepeople??

Oh Bob, That looks so beautiful. Mine are still growing, no flowers yet. I just love them.

Ok, that is the oddest story about the cherry tree. Weird.

ARE YOU KIDDING?!
I can't believe that about your tree!
Were there tire marks also? Time to put up surveillance!! I was going to plant a tree... I have to just keep repeating to myself: "I will not allow my neighborhood affect how I garden, I will not allow my neighborhood to affect how I garden!"

bobbione8y said...

actually, annie, i do kind of think somebody took it in a car!! there were "dirt" tracks to the alley, then nothing!!

yeah. sigh. i try to keep saying "it's just a tree" but i was thinking of the poor thing laying somewhere dying a horrible death yesterday.

i'm nuts :)

Anne said...

bob.... could someone have STOLEN your lovely tree??? it was pretty! sorry... am i obsessing over this a bit?!

bobbione8y said...

anne, it was a one year old STICK. sure, somebody stole it. but i doubt they did it to beautify their yard, unless they have alot of patience. i would rather somebody PLANT it than throw it in the alley!

either way, i will not be stopped :)))
