And it lived. You could try it, but with it just being the start of a possibly windy and stormy spring, you might have to tie it to some rebar stakes or something!<br />Well, I did it. I ordered the white cling mount film off ebay. I saw another girl using it in a video on YouTube and I checked back to your site and its the same brand. The one with the turtle. I'm wondering how quickly it will get to Arkansas from Arizona (or wherever it was.) I know it is going to take me forever to unmount all those dollar stamps I have, but they just take up too much room. Thanks for the info. I'll let you know how it goes!<br />Rhonda in ARmom2hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523105800413639881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-31429841348451529172012-03-07T11:40:08.647-06:002012-03-07T11:40:08.647-06:00Soooo sorry to hear about your apple tree Okie!

If you would like another apple tree your more than welcome to come and uproot one of mine! I have 3 of them! Use to have 4 but took it out cuz it didn't look right in the front yard.... Seriously... the front had 3 in a row and it looked sooo wierd... after we removed that one the yard seemed to have a better balance to it! I also have 2 cherry trees and a green plum tree... YES LOTS OF TREES! :o) HUGS! :o)Scrapper69https://www.blogger.com/profile/10721558790222871768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-55351637174486199942012-03-07T10:09:44.765-06:002012-03-07T10:09:44.765-06:00Awe... so sorry to hear about your tree!

Like the Enegizer bunny whose batteries never run down. Me, give me a good book (I have a Nook and a Kindle!) and a cozy blanket and I am happy.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469990743590332171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-19367118135109946332012-03-07T08:03:01.297-06:002012-03-07T08:03:01.297-06:00Sorry about your apple tree.

I think you should go out and get a new tree and plant it. Any kind of tree you think you and the squirrels would like. Might take a while before the squirrels can climb it, depending on how big a tree you start with, but well worth the time and effort.Connienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-81955382370056389032012-03-07T07:24:29.055-06:002012-03-07T07:24:29.055-06:00I agree with AndreaA.

Our Texas weather just might let it live. I have a 30 foot crepe myrtle that grew back from a tiny root left after a tree was removed.Debbie (from Sugar Land)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06476785051972317564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-70333307498523951952012-03-06T19:59:26.593-06:002012-03-06T19:59:26.593-06:00What a shame.

It is still living to this day. As a matter of fact it is the only one that I have left. So it could live.AndreaAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02550803842974472464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-23111419591615542862012-03-06T19:28:22.260-06:002012-03-06T19:28:22.260-06:00Enjoying nature can bring such joy.

Hubby threatens to chop it down. he won't though, as we love watching the birds eat the frozen fruit and then fly away feeling very tipsy. This winter we have deer coming ujp to munch on them. It is great to have nature visit us in the city!DonnaKaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450011926151386199noreply@blogger.com
