Craptastic?

Why? Just why do people paint the bottoms of their trees white? It's like a rite of Spring; the two trees in the front yard of this house get a fresh coat of whitewash. WHY?!? I suppose they deserve credit for attending to their yard, versus those who just let the whole thing go to pot.

Oh, and in the background you can see one of my favorite trees in the neighborhood. It's gorgeous. And, NOT painted white.

Don't forget, RR's submission for the SPRING CRAPTASTIC contest is here.
