Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for June 19, 2024

That tree is pretty wily.

Anvil warning deterrent successfully deployed

But, is it edible?

Great protective strategy by the anvil tree.

tree self-defense

Missed him by that much. Horsie lucky it wasn’t a piano.

Just a subtle hint, Horace.

Hmmm, that must be an ACME tree!?

okay… that tree wants to be left alone. :i

Coyote waits.

Must be an ironwood tree.

Under a spreading chestnut-tree the village smithy stands

That was a close one, Horace!

Set and match

I’d say 0-0. Neither side got hurt.

Obviously, Horace needs to iron out his relationship with that tree…!

When trees start dropping anvils about the time I come to cut it down, I declare the tree the winner and walk away!

Why one does not chop down ironwood trees.

Okay bad enough there some of the trees can walk, some will find anvils to hide in their branches to drop on people. At least the trees of OZ will throw fruit at you. There are other plants that will eat you there.[See “PATCHWORK GIRL OF OZ”]

All we need to know is if the tree was planted by Wily E Coyote…
