Monty by Jim Meddick for October 17, 2013

If a tree is passive aggressive and there’s no one around but Monty, is it still emotionally unstable?

It was just waiting for you to stand under it, Monty.

Deciduous trees are a pain, especially when on a neighbour’s property and the wind always blows towards your place.

This is acting like trees in the Peanuts and Garfield strips. lol

For most people, it’s Fall. For Monty, it’s Dump.

Monty, didn’t we tell you not to call that Tree “oddball”? It really is Special, ya know?

cut the damn thing down, and shut up, plant sand next year.

Where I lived for 19 years there was a sycamore tree that lost leaves 8 months out of the year.The leaves were as big as dinner plates, and when dry, sounded like aluminum when the wind blew them down the street.I used to use a bagging mower to chop up the leaves.I don’t miss it at all.

my neighbor’s got one, a 100 foot maple. my yard looks like an atomic tree-bomb went off.

That tree sure is thin barked.

Such cutting remarks will leaf an impression Monty.

There’s some type of ash tree I pass on my way to work that does exactly this – after the first hard frost it rains leaves down on the guy’s driveway. I noticed this year he trimmed it back considerably
