I think they're kind of playfully funny because they so innocently leave out any reason why we should pay any attention to them. What's the big deal about the new grove of trees, and why do we care where it is? And what about the old one that's long gone, are we supposed to mourne for it or what? Check out the impressive dimensions on those trees! Burns with the bark still on--great! They're sweet, make you grin, like a little kid telling you he got some new shoes.
