Can't blog ~ Spinning 4-ply

Yes, it's a palm tree in a tomato cage* on a frosty morning from last week.

Don't act so surprised.  Y'all know it's weird here.

Happy Friday!

(It is Friday, right?)

* I put the cage on it so I wouldn't mow over it.  I did this after two/three years of mowing over it.  I thought it was just a really interesting weed that loved it here.  Turned out it was really a palm tree baby.  Who knew?!

That's a clever way to protect the baby palm tree!

[Marilyn]

It's a persistent tree if it can survive a couple years of being mowed! It's a keeper. :)

Happy spinning & Happy Weekend! It is Friday!

Cool picture, and great idea for protecting that poor baby you kept trying to kill ;-)

How does one warrant a random palm tree? Inquiring minds want to know.

How sweet to see a palm tree baby on your blog!

Your baby palm tree is very cute but I didn't know that palm trees and frost could exist in the same place.

That's a cute and very determined palm. After being in Tucson for a year, that looked pretty logical to me.

No grass to mow here, unless you like high water bills. Just sand, lots and lots of sand, plus some rocks.

I have a cage like this on the asparagus...that way my hubby can't drive over it. He really hates asparagus..LOL

Awesome handspun Cookie, love the colours.

There's nothing sadder than a wild free palm tree caged like a zoo animal.

Or something like that. Dang, there was that much frost up there? Is the ice age coming? I was just getting used to global warming.

Neat! Too bad we cant grow palm here, i really like the look of them. The kids liked them too when they saw them at Disney last year.

Showing us your yarn tomorrow?

I think that baby tree needs Christmas lights, a little like a Charlie Brown Christmas. It's the least you can do after the years of abuse....

[Bullwinkle]

/snort I'm with Diane ;)

That is totally something I would do - mow over a baby tree for years and then try to save it. (Think of it has hardy, resistant, and with quite strong roots.)

Winter! Tropical! WTF?!

[Kitten]

lmao. you know, it may harbor resentment.

[CindyCindy]

Kind of like the pin oak in our back yard that my brothers kept mowing. It's about 70' tall now, but we figure the roots go down to China!!!!

[kmkat]

That palm grew back after being mowed off for multiple years? Damn, you'd better keep mowing before it eats California.

[Ruth]

Bet it would be really pretty with snow...

And it would make a heartwarming and inspirational story: The Little Palm Tree That Could. I wonder if it's bitter at all.

I think you need one of those bright pink tomato cages.

[Kym]

Tomato cages are such handy items! :-)

Enjoy your spinning! Traditional four-ply, or cable four-ply?

Awww...frosty baby!

That's a great idea. I used to "weed" the peonies when they came up in the spring. No clue what they were. Then I learned and got to enjoy them. Last spring my daughter mowed one over with the reel mower. It's genetic.
