That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 09, 2019

Brigid and the oak tree had relationship that dared not say its name.

Love that crotch. The TREE, the TREE!!

Because of Emma’s severe case of somnambulism, she had found herself up a tree so often she decided to just start there then wake up in bed.

She thinks of herself as being very limber…

This sport is also known as bole-ing

(yes, that was the obligatory trunk line)

The artist wanted her to go out on a limb for him, which made her crotchety..

Her last name is Barkass.

How do I know that?

Tell-tale bits of bark on her behind, of course…

Laura and “Woody” take tree hugging to the next level.

That’s not Laura, it’s Julia Hill.

When the bough breaks……..

Laura really wanted to branch out. She knew she could be a poet. Her feet show it. They’re Longfellows.

Finally. Some rest. Now THEY can cook and clean. I’m outa there. It’s just me and you, Treeboy.

After claiming the perfect seat for the outdoor concert, Joan realized the concert was next week.

She pined for her boyfriend.

That lumber is not offering good lumbar support.

Saving trees for Jesus.

An sh-t, I thought my shoes were up here.

Carly Simon going where the boys are.

One thing she could say about Jules, he gave a damn good foot massage!

Guess she figured Y knot

Too bad she didn’t know it was a hemlock.

No turbulence in trees.

Deer season. Damn, I dropped my rifle again.

Okay, the hounds got ’er treed. Now what ya gonna do with ’er?

The Mob wanted her to sleep with the fishes but she decided to do trees instead….

I always go for the low hanging fruit.

It was a bountiful year, and the passion fruit trees were moaning under the weight of ripe delights.

Henrietta’s sleep was interrupted by the broken branch she was siting on,, after many delightful hours.

Being embraced by a tree was much better than what the boys in town had in mind.

One of the branches is holding a cigarette…

It’s a Dryad, sleeping around

Little did she know it, but one false move and Mary was in for a root awakening.
