I have always had a fascination with Bottle Trees. Just ask Rita.
http://www.bottletree.com/story.htm

Anyway, I FINALLY got my first bottle tree tonight! :clap:Mr. DD fabricated it for me out of a cedar post and some dowel rods. I'll post a pic later. I have now decided that I want another one made out of metal-which he can probably procure for me also. But, I need bottles. I don't drink near enough wine-contrary to what y'all may think. I am particularly interested in BLUE bottles, RED bottles, and Frosted WHITE bottles. And any other unusual colors and shapes. If you save 'em for me, I'll pick them up sometime when I'm in SoWal. Just let me know.
If you have some cool ones, and you don't live in Texas or SoWal, pm me and I'll pay the shipping.

You need a fall tree. All fall trees have brown leaves. You can have a forest in no time. You know me and Darlene. Need I say more? :funn:

I have a butt load of green ones from all the wine that Debbie and I have made and consumed. Nothing unusual, though...

No! I wanted to...forgot about it. Thanks!! Great scene!

Yeah, I've got a bunch of green ones too, cause that's the kind of wine I normally drink. I'm not much of a Reisling fan though--even though the bottles are lovely.

Can you use boxes? :biggrin:

Nope. They wouldn't do well in the rain.:lol: IF we ever get any rain! Mr. DD swears it rained today..but there were only about three drops in the gauge.

This website cracks me up.

Not because of the bottle trees but because there's a tab that says "ORDER BOTTLES." :floor:

Like anyone in this joint needs to order bottles. :floor::floor:

I know! I actually did look at the "order bottles" tab. They have some real pretty colors. I would prefer to beg for them though. :wave:

Sorry, but fake bottled water and processed food make me sick!
I'd do better chugging the outfall agua w/ some iodine tablets added - da scooter loves the tap water ;-).
