Convict Collars and Purple Trees,

 A few years back I introduce

you to the Convict Collars for

cats.  If you were not following, or

you don't remember, or

you just need a refresher.

A Convict Collar is 

a collar you purchase, 

have the owners name

and phone number on 

the inside of the collar.

The collars are orange which

is supposed to let some 

know, if they see your cat

out, it's okay to approach it,

cause the orange says, I 

am a house cat and I got out.

COOL idea, 

but what good does it 

do you if no one has 

ever heard of it?

I go over this to let you know

I noticed something and just

by accident I read something on it.

It was a few days after I 

saw purple paint painted

on trees, that I read, this means,

"no trespassing". 

Interesting and never seen

the purple on a tree before, 

until I looked out my window

one day and noticed two 

trees painted purple.

Now, I am here to tell you,

sometimes I miss things

but not often, but there is

no way I have looked out

at those trees for nine months

and never saw these painted.

There are several more along

the stretch in front of my

house. So, I stand there one

day trying to figure out

when they got painted and 

the most important question,

why?

A few days later I happened

on something about it,

that is when I learned what

it meant.

But there again, how is anyone

to know these things?
