Tree Face Mystery????

You folks know those tree faces you see around on folks trees? Well, we have 2 in our back yard for 2 years now! One day last week we noticed the eyes and nose on one of the trees was missing??? Thought it odd as nothing else was missing....we have no sidewalks so no walking traffic to speak of and there are woods behind the house so thick you could not walk through to our backyard if you wanted so....we ruled out neighborhood kids! Ruled out humans of any kind because there was nothing else missing but the eyes and the nose from the face......there was other stuff I think someone would have messed with instead of the tree face? Couple days later......the mouth from the same face was gone???? No sign of any of it on the ground or anywhere around???? Squirrels????

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

It must be one of them Hollywood Birch trees....Probably had a little nip here, a little tuck there, maybe a Botox treatment or two.

Larry, I think that you're turning into Elmer Fudd. I wish I was close enough to whatch this...
BigFudd...has a ring to it..

Are the faces made of foam? If so squirrels or mice may be lining their nests. I had one of those Omaha Steak coolers reduced to dust by squirrels.

Trees aren't meant to have faces on them or nails driven into them the tree's spirit is not happy with you

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

So what Larry is saying is that he wouldn't recognize his tree face if it was looking him right in the eye?
