the face in the cardboard

[darkoshi]

I was wondering, does Rowling get royalties from sales of the official Harry Potter movie soundtracks?

While working in the yard, I cut down these branches which were growing in the wrong place but then felt sorry for them, so took them inside and put them in a vase.



The important plumbing work that I've needed done has finally been done!
It included replacing the bathroom faucet; the new one came in this packaging:



But the cardboard turns out to have a face, so how can I just toss it away with the rest of the recyclables?

Edited to add:
And not only a face, but also floppy ears and its arms held out for a hug; that makes it even harder.

Forsythia reroots easily. If you feel sorry for those branches and have another place to put them, you should be able to do so within a few day when the new roots come in.

Note: If you do have a bush, my advice is to periodically trim it within an inch of its life. Some of my neighbors try to do their forsythia in a neat cube, and it doesn't work. The inner branches all die, or anyway refuse to bud. We let ours grow wild, trim off any branch that doesn't bud, and periodically trim ALL the branches down practically to the roots and it blooms beautifully, year after year.

Ah, forsythia is what they are called. I looked it up before but it's a hard word for me to remember.

I do have enough other bushes of it that I won't try to plant them. But that is good to know about the trimming as 2 of the bushes give me trouble with other plants and trees trying to grow in amongst their roots.

Yeah, forsythia can handle some rough handling on the pruning front. It can't handle being micromanaged.
