Unusual Tree.

Out for my morning walk, I came across this unusual tree.  It looks like it has beans growing on it.  Have no idea what it is.

Very windy today, so I just went to Masters to buy some solar lights.  Put them in the garden to charge up.  When it got dark they weren't on.

I thought I might have to take them back.  Then my husband took them apart.  A piece of plastic was still stuck between the battery and the connection, after he had pulled the main piece out to get them started.  I wonder how many people have returned these, because they think they aren't working.
