On Twigs

Do you remember my husband who believes everything he reads on the Internet? Of course you do.


Well he's been saving us money again.


He saved us approximately $40, but these trees are twigs and aren't exactly what one is after when one is landscaping the yard.

He may never learn.

That is too funny. I go with my husband when we buy plants. (Jane's Blog)

There is power in the twig. The man knows of what he speaks. So does this man. In fact, wikipedia says, and I quote, twigs are "critically important." Don't bother looking up the context. For your man knows of what he speaks.

Well...they are nice big twigs. Not much as far as landscaping and blocking any neighbors peeping at your streakers though.

I know that some trees shed their leaves in the winter but I think this tree is a little mixed up, lol

I wonder what it's like to live inside a man's brain?!?

Kandace said...

I am not even sure they are alive. My MIL assures me that at least 2 are. I swear Bob almost cried when he opened them.

Maybe they're dormant? Nah, nevermind. There's no hope.

They might make a nice fire?

Well, where did he read that it is a good idea to put some dry twigs directly in front of the dryer vent? Must have been something Al Gore wrote, I mean because of it being his internet and all.

JWilson said...

Are you sure he bought trees? I with Carrie why would he put a bunch of dried out wood in front of the dryer vent?

Don Mills Diva said...

Most husband's never do...

Those lil trees look awfully small and lonely...

Kandace said...

Carrie, please note that is NOT a dryer vent. It is a vent for a water heater and it's our main feature walking up to our house. I know, a classy bunch aren't we?

Smilf said...

Oh those are fantastic! That is so something that I would do. Not my husband, but me. I am sad to say. HA!

I have sufficient experience to answer this one, so ladies, step back:

1. Sex
2. Food
3. Sex
4. Sleep
5. Sex

With some other random things stuck in there.

But seriously, we mean well. Execution may not go exactly as planned.

I think you should leave them right where they are, in the bucket next to that bird bath thing. Maybe bring them in during christmas time and decorate them.

Super cute.

Talisman said...

It reminds me of Charlie Brown's Christmas tree. *pats little twigs* Oh crap they fell over. Sorry. ;)

Twig Garden. It's the newest and hottest in outdoor decor.

I don't know how you call it saving money. Looks to me like he bought a bunch of defective magic beans.

Oh, that is hilarious! My brother-in-law just sold his house. He had a twig planted in the front yard. It was about 10 feet tall, but still a twig. It gets a bunch of leaves near the top in the summer. The family always makes fun of him for that. Then on Thursday we visited him in his new house, which has no landscaping yet. He said "I need a twig in the yard".

Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on my random photos post.

Haha! Sounds like my husband. We currently have a very similar twig going in a pot out front. It is an oak twig we got for free at a garden thing this spring. I don't want an oak tree in my yard for one and if I am going to plant one it is going to be bigger than a twig thank you. Our yard is the size of a postage stamp and is devoid of any real trees since our community was built on top of what I am sure used to be a field three years ago. :)
