New Fort, Long Story

A few Sabbaths ago, I was returning something to a neighbor prior to heading to church. A gentleman came up and asked if he could cut down all the palm branches on the property next door. I told him no (four times in fact –he was persistent) due to the fact that it was not our property, but Paul’s. Later, upon leaving for church, I noticed this man up inside the tree with every single branch cut off but one. Grrr… After talking to him for quite a while, Kelly ended up taking all of the branches from the guy and putting them in our yard. There were a lot of branches, and everyone we offered them to did not want them. So, we, I mean Casey, decided to make a stylish fort for the kids. Alright, there you have it.

Here is what the tree should look like.

Here is what the tree does look like. Similar to a pineapple with one feather on top...

Here is the cool new fort with the branches from the tree.

Here the girls are playing with Mother Teresa.

Shame... the palm tree is So Beautiful with branches. One wonders Why this man would not listen. Well, may the tee grow back! It does resemble a pinneaple a bit I do agree. :D You made good use of the branches.
