I took this picture on Sunday near our house on March 1st. Do you think they were trying to break a record or something? What do you think the story behind this is?
The other day I noticed that someone still had their inflatable christmas ornaments deflated on their lawn. How much work does it take to put that away.
I had a friend who once kept her tree up in the house until the end of February - didn't want the season to end. Different strokes for different folks.
I agree with MaryBeth. Or maybe it belonged to a teacher who feels extremely overworked and thinks they can't spend time doing other things that need to be done. That said, my tree is down (because my husband would start taking it down ornaments and all if I didn't get at least that much done).
From Calvin (he saw the posts): I believe the reverse is true. I think the husband tasked the wife to do it and finally threw in the towel and did it himself, as usual.
You all are hilarious! Since my birthday is the end of January, no one in my house is allowed to think about taking down the tree before then. After that, it has to wait until we get to it. So March is possible in our house, but this year we did pretty good, I think we had it down soon after Valentine's Day.
I was born and raised in Maryland. I have lived in sunny Arizona for the past 22 years and have been married for 21. I have two beautiful children (most of the time anyway...) Shayne, 13 and Maya, 10. I graduated from ASU in 1998, then got my Master's Degree in Educational Technology in 2002. I have taught elementary students for the past 17 years. Currently I teach K-6 students in the computer lab and in the library.
Rick was born and raised in Vancover, Canada. He has lived in Arizona for 22 years also. He keeps busy with work during the day and us at night. We like going on trips around the state exploring and he still likes to get out and play golf when he can.
Shayne
Shayne is 13 years old. He is in seventh grade. He loves playing soccer.
Maya
Maya is 10 years old. She is in fourth grade at the school I work at. She likes swimming, drawing and writing.

I say the wife told the husband to take care of it and he never did, so it took nine weeks for her to be pissed off enough to do it herself.
Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything.
Yeah, ditto to MaryBeth.

I think it is the hubby story. Very plausible in my mind.

P.S. From Cindy: You know I'm not buying this.
Whatever the story is, I'm sure "throwing in the towel" had something to do with it.
