It was like a Hansel and Gretel trek down the road yesterday. Instead of following bread crumbs, it was palm leaves. Every couple of car lengths laying squarely in the middle of the lane was a single palm leaf, perfectly placed. I am pretty sure this palm has been kidnapped and was giving directions of where it went. I followed these leaves for awhile. Alas, they stopped. I will never know who kidnapped that poor palm or where it is now.

Uhhh... mommaj, you do realize that palm was probably not kidnapped, right? 
It seems very obvious to me that it was a young tree, possibly in a palm tree's equivalent of their teen years. 
The trail you were following was the young palm signalling desperately that it was being taken by its parents to a boring location much against its will. It was hoping some
kind hearted person would catch up to them and save it from what will surely be the longest days and nights ever experienced by palm tree kind!
If only that poor palm tree had known that the only person interested in following its trail was someone who deliberately destroys trees by shooting them until the trunk is cut cleanly in half! I think it would be much more content to be going somewhere with more sun and rain than what you get in your yard!
BTW, are the police still covertly watching you after you ruined your neighbor's very expensive plantings?

And now the kidnappers have a nekkid palm tree on their hands!

@mommaj I am not sure what they are going to do with it, but I agree that a blanket would surely help the poor tree. Can you imagine the embarrassment of that poor nekkid tree and how the other trees will mock it.

@purplealabaster *SMH* Awful, just awful. I hope the other trees get cut down or put in the hot sun.
