March 2, 2008: Tree jewelry

Quote:
So much is given. So little is asked.

When was the last time your favorite tree demanded anything from you? Attention? Conversation? Compliments?

Surprise that oak, that maple, that honey locust. Drape a gleaming stainless
steel necklace around your precious. Fitted on indestructible marine line,
finished with marine hardware. Lasts forever.


I'll admit to buying jewelry, to get a little bush for my wood, but this is crazy. You'd probably need 24 hour security, too.

Wonder if they know that will eventually kill the tree.

They appear to be pretty loose, but eventually they would be covered over.

'Shopped. And, I think I'll pass. My old oak tree will have to be happy with a yellow ribbon.

the pics don't seem 'shopped to me--the reflections look right. Or do they?

Wouldn't it take an awfully long time for there to be adverse consequences to the tree? Seems like people would remove the "jewelry" before then.

The next time someone mentions that I spend too much time in the Cellar, I'll direct them to the Chicago and Seatle areas, where folks put jewelry and sweaters on their trees. My life seems much more productive now. Thanks, tree huggers.

Stupidest thing ever, and I am so jealous that I didn't come up with the idea!
