DH and I came upon this median that had a row of rare "Shoe Trees" DH is somewhat of an expert on trees - he had never seen them before. We snapped a few pictures and added 2 pair of our sneakers that we used for creek stomping the day before. A few yards down the road we saw a man outside weeding his garden, we stopped and asked him about the trees. He said no one knows who started it - one day there was a pair hanging from a branch - a week later several. We counted at least 100 pairs in just one of the trees.

That's so funny! Not too much to do in PA, huh?

I forgot to say this was in northern NY near the Canadian border. We had gone for a drive after a family reunion we were attending. We were lost, wandering back roads hoping to find a road with a route number that was on the map before we ran out of gas. The trees cut the tension and gave us with a fun story and wacky pictures.

Oh that is so funny! Our local paper just had an article about a man that has been hanging coffee mugs in his tree. At last count there were 3000. He and a friend would have coffee under the tree and leave there mugs. He used a nail and hung them up and a tradition started. Funny how things get started! Great picture.
