Is the tree still alive? I see it's bark is peeling! In earlier times,(I was going to say), in my day, they would strip the bark and then soak the pole in arsenic for a while before using it as a telegraph pole. How times have changed.
Being up the pole is right up my hubby's alley. But it does look like that pole might need to be replaced. Not sure I would want hubby climbing up one that looks like it is coming apart.
Love the saying. With all the money that everyone spends to look like someone else, is there anyone who is happy with themselves nowadays?
Maybe mirrors are not such a good thing. I try to tell others that it is not what is on the outside that counts, it is how you treat others that truly counts. Maybe I should also add, how you treat yourself counts too.

God bless.
Roddy, madness!
Mrsupole, I try to avoid mirrors at all costs. My knees already let me know often enough that I'm getting old.
