The Hedgehog & The Bikes

 A bit of this and that today. First, I had forgotten to show you the cutest Christmas decoration in a yard a few blocks away. A Hedgehog; it is so cute!


I also thought I would re-post these photos from many years ago of a bicycle Christmas tree.



·       Hedgehogs have 5000-7000 Quills. They are stiff hollow spikes.  They last for around a year and fall out naturally, by the time new quills grow.

·       There are 17 species of Hedgehogs. 

 

“The fox has many tricks. The hedgehog has but one. But that is the best of all.”

It is a cute hedgehog. The recycled bikes use to create a Christmas tree is genius. People can be so creative. It’s like, “ why didn’t I think of that?”

That is a cute hedgehog. I also like the wood pallet tree they have next to it.
I remember that bicycle tree. It's pretty impressive.
