    Junipers are in the same family as Venus Fly Traps. That’s why a common pine joke is to yell out “hey, your fly is open!”

    Oh dear Petey! I can’t tell if he’s pulling Alice’s leg, or maybe has a Bostonian science teacher.

    Petey never gives up in his quest to pass on his neuroses to Alice!

    Unexpected, deliciously funny pun from Petey, suddenly a typical, teasing big brother!

    I don’t think Petey is kidding.

    I missed out on having a younger sibling to torment. Looks like fun!

    Petey’s not far wrong. On Pickles a few days back, Grandma was attacked by a tree frog.

    Emergency request to Alice from the Pacific northwest – Please, flush some ice cubes.

    Petey would never leave the house if he was my neighbor. My backyard is a forest of conifers.

    Coniferous … carnivorous … what’s the diff? I’m assuming that birds nesting in the tree have a symbiotic relationship. They led the tree to believe that the baby birds will be hors d’oeuvres when they are big enough. No wonder baby birds are so quick to fly the coop!

    The coniferous tree must be related to the kite-eating tree.

    I thought that coniferous meant someone who only ate cones. Like a non-Euclidean vegan is one who only eats foods with a negative curvature (i.e. Pringles).

    Pines (especially like the blue spruce back in IL) provice very good shelter for the birds. My native pine was very fast growing and has more space between branches (grew over 20’ since I planted it less than 3’ tall in 1999). Birds hang out there in the day, but nest and sleep in the ficus and the cypress.
