Can’t see the forest for the tree

Soon as in a few thousand years?

At least he filed his claim first.

I can’t see the forest for the tree.

One tree does not a forest make.

Peter’s, Rabbit and Deer Feedlot

He cut down the forest to get the lumber to make the sign

Was recently replaced by the current sign, which reads: “Gone soon!”

Maybe he planted it for the ants. It would be just their size. And now they can sit under it and enjoy the shade while sipping some lemonade.

Great start there Peter Love it.

The people that built the house I currently live in where here for 10 years and did nothing with this acre+ but mow. After 28 years, I live in a forest. Mainly planted by me.

Forestry companies are proud to plant new forests. They cut down diverse trees (including hardwoods) and replace them 100% with the fastest growing variety of pine that exists.

Cut that tree down! We can put up condos here.

How to fill up the other three panels for a one-panel joke.

Plant one tree a day, make it a lunch thing, and pretty soon you’ll be able to hide your merry band of outlaws.

The last panel is in the dictionary under optimism.

before i worked form home full time, one of my favorite parts of my commute was to drive by a xmas tree farm.

If a tree was going to grow there it would have done so through natural processes ages ago.

“…the second best time to plant a tree is today.”

Probably not coming as soon as some would like.

Hope!

If we judge by flora rather than fauna, these cavemen must be from the Late Devonian period.

It reminds me of the famous Cedars of Lebanon. There are very few of the old forest left, but they have been planting young ones in the area little by little in the Bsharri area. I got to see some up close along the path to the Kadisha Grotto. (It’s a phenomenally beautiful area.)

Optimistic

It’s a start……

If it falls down after he leaves, will it actually have made a sound?

“Old man Peabody owned all of this. He had this crazy idea about breeding pine trees.”

So that’s how the Saharan Forest got it’s start.

But if that little thing falls, it’s a good bet no one will hear it.

Ah, but a thousand-mile journey starts with a single step…

That is the first real estate salesman, alright.

the “soon!” might be slightly hyperbolic

The saddest day in history was when man invented property.

“Hammer” is a good noun, an okay verb, but a lousy onomatopoeia.

You have to start somewhere.

There will be more trees if you respect them.
