Life is just a tree of chair-ees.

Budding field reports on the cusp of playing, this is how it is done. You take a nice Sunday drive in the country and the bounty will present itself.

    You are correct though, I did do a post about them a long time ago.

  7. Lola Nova, I will have to go back and look. They look like a fun group of gals.

    Diane, Lola could have knocked that one out of the park.

  9. The red chairs would scare me when the wind starts to blow. You could do some damage with those.

  10. Rosey, on a windy day it could be poor-mans Ferris wheel.

  11. That house/yard appears to have been designed by the last tornado that went through. I was half expecting a live cow in the tree as well.

  12. Laura, or a goat. A goat would be good, because it could hop from branch to branch.

  13. The chair tree is a real winner. Have to say, never saw that one coming. The trailers did give a clue though. In fact, many, many trailers. The video was a little, country cracker.

  14. I suppose the chairs are for the convenience of bears who climb trees - they do need a place to roost!!!

  15. Wow, that's the first chairee tree I've ever seen. And they were nearly ripe, too!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Wow. Another first. Chairs in trees. LOL

    See, this is why I don't play much. Next to this, I got nothin'.
