Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 07, 2019

I think that Marylou is jealous of Warren and Pansy.

And yet, she wouldn’t let him touch HER like that. No wonder Warren has taken an interest in potted plants, they are responsive and don’t nag.

Warren is trying to teach Pansy how to do arm raises.

The plant’s name is Audrey. Wait for it.

Everthing’s going to pot.

Warren is President of the Ballard Horticulture Society and Line Dancing Club. He is known as “The plant whisperer “.

We think he’s a nut job because he insists we include that damn plant in any and all conversations.

Marylou is seeing a divorce lawyer. It’s not going well because Warren only talks thru his lawyer who is a potted fern.

She has a seed of doubt about their relationship.

Well, my man, this bud’s for you!

Please don’t blame Pansy, just because she’s so pretty.

She’s very quiet, and doesn’t wear makeup or provocative clothing… and she doesn’t drink anything but water.

She’s fond of Warren, but she’s never written him poetry, or tried to run off with him.

All she’s ever done is stick close to her roots, with her feet firmly planted, and stay true to the way she was raised.

He and Pansy are just dancing…..

She’d like to put that plant in the ground…

Warren wonders why his Pansy won’t dance like the one he saw on the dash board of a car in the parking lot at Ballard Street Dollar General.

She can get revenge. Get a dog and see what he does to potted plants left at ground level…

An unintended consequence of making potted plants legal…

…mmm…

Lunch!

The plant doesn’t feel too happy about it, either.

Pansy is a shy little plant who doesn’t like all this attention.
