False Spring

Remember our Charlie Brown Christmas Tree?

http://mnp8.blogspot.com/2007/11/jul-i-lygby.html


Well he use to sit on our balcony and we drug him inside and decorated him. Two days before Christmas, after he had been in our warm flat since the day after Thanksgiving, we noticed that he was starting to bud. We were a little nervous because we both have VERY bad allergies and when spring comes around we are both knocked on our asses from all the blooming around us. We had decided that the day after Christmas we would promptly move him back outside to his home on the balcony. The day after Christmas came and we looked at him and just didn't have the heart to move him back outside as one of the buds had bloomed into a pretty new set of pine needles. As of now, he is still inside and occasionally we say, maybe he should go outside, but then we'll go over and look at him and one of us will say something like, "He is so cute" and then we just can't put him out in the cold. Amazingly, neither of our allergies have been bothered in the slightest because of him. Maybe this is a sign that we desperately need another puppy as we have now adopted a tree. I guess he needs a name now.... Hmmm.. Any suggestions?

The bright green pines are the new growth

How cute that you haven't had the heart to but him back out in the cold!

I haven't come up with a name for him but if he's a kind of dog, he must be a "Grand Danois" (As you probably know "gran" is the Danish word for pine and is pronounced the same as "grand" in French.)

Loved what Marianne said about naming that cute little tree! Sounds good to us.
