I was hoping none of my neighbors would notice right away that there was a new evergreen out in the woods, and I could start moving it around all winter until they noticed.

Nope. Next door neighbor figured it out that night as he was dragging his tree out. He put it next to mine, and texted me a photo suggesting that he knew it was me.

Sad trombone.   I’ll have to find somewhere else to put it now.

Took Down The Tree Today

Luckily, our lot backs up to woods, so we could put it out there.

Yes, I just put an artificial tree in the woods. I’m wondering if the other trees will figure it out.

Trees (ours anyway) stay up the full twelve days of Christmas.

Hilarious. I wonder if the metal trunk will rust. If an artificial tree rusts through and falls in the woods with nobody around to hear it, will it still make a screeching sound?

It’s in a common wooded area I can see from the house. I’m counting on neighbors to notice it at some point, and we’ll all have a laugh.

If they don’t notice it, I will move it every week until they do.

and does it light up?

No. That woudn’t be fair. The other trees would see right through it.

oh you uneducated fool. just as dogs cannot see colour, it is well known trees cannot see light

Then explain photosynthesis. When it’s dark they turn off the photo synthetics. When it gets light the photosynthetics turn back on. You can’t explain that if they don’t see light.

did none of you pay attention in school. they can feel the heat from the sun. they sense the heat of the light, not the light itself. plants are very heat sensitive, it’s why they scream when on fire.

lol epic :]

I’m not a fan of nature. Pretty much everyone here at work would love to live in a place like that. Give me cement and loud humans :]

It’s a subdivision with wooded areas. Still plenty of people and concrete around.

If just one more neighbor “plants” a tree out there, he will have three free tree problems...
