LOVE/HATE

I love these trees - we have 2 of them in our back yard. They're huge! In this picture we only have 1 "sky chair" but we usually have 2 of them up. It's so nice to sit in the swing and sway under the AWESOME shade these trees provide.



I absolutely HATE what these beautiful trees leave us in the fall.

The first one (the greenest one) is how they start. And the spikes aren't very pokey. They are still soft. Then as they start to dry up the begin to get pokey. And pokier until they drop off into our grass. (The farthest right one). So there is no running barefoot in our backyard. We rake them up and try to get as many as we can, but there is NO way we can get all of them. It's SOOO obnoxious and it's really a pain - pun intended. If you step on one, they are so brittle, it breaks off in your foot. OUCH!!!
