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.

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.
