I had breakfast with some Colorado friends this morning at The Happy Cooker in Georgetown and since the weather was perfect we ate outdoors. While enjoying our food we noticed a tree with a rope around its base:
We conjectured a few reasons for the rope’s presence and purpose but came up with no satisfying answers – especially when we took a closer look:
Why would the tree be tied to the fence?
When our young server, late teens, came around with the check, I asked, her, « Do you know why that tree is tied to the fence? »
Without missing a beat or cracking a smile she replied, « Tree kept running away. »
