poetree

some people knit sweaters for cats or for dogs
some people knit mittens for kids
some people knit toques [to wear when they ski]
but i've never seen nothin like this.



{you should always carry your camera phone with you wherever you go in case you run into a tree that grows yarn fruit.}

"what are you knitting, gramma?" 
"a sweater for my tree."

i updated the whatever you do don't push this button button. just so you know.

Hahahah, I love this! You never know, maybe the tree gets cold. So funny!

I'm in love!
This reminds me of that colorful house from the Harriet the Spy movie.
Seen it?

I took that quiz that your button leads you to.
Guess what? I'm literally 50 percent left brained, and 51 percent right brained. how weird is that?

LOVE this. I really should go around my town and do this. But then people would probably cut it off. :( They like to ruin good things here. BUMMMMMMMER.

Dessart? mmm... now I have a craving for the silver coca-cola ball candy.

We missed you tonight at youth! That's what I came to tell you, then I pushed the whatever you do don't push this button button and was happy with what I found.
