Uncle Fred’s Tree Face

admin — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 06:32:56 +0000

Uncle Fred in Huntsville, AL sent me a tree face for my birthday. It’s become one of my favorite yard ornaments. Thank you, Fred! Since we don’t actually have any trees to speak of, the tree face now adorns part of the privacy fence. Gradually during the summer, as the morning glories grow, they hide the tree face, which is revealed again in the early fall. Impatiens are below the tree face. July 11, 2006.

Here’s our organic gardener, smoking a cigarette while he shows off his prize giant sunflower. We saved the seeds from this one for this year’s sunflower garden, toasted some sunflower seeds and left the rest for the birds. October 23, 3008.
