Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 27, 2020

Carrie is a blooming idiot.

Carrie enjoyed her visit…she’s back in the Home now. Visiting hours are 12:00 to 12:14 on alternate Tuesdays.

I can smell the fertilizer.

Normally, the Flower Queen wouldn’t have to worry about a large bee coming by,

. . . but this is Ballard Street after all.

And why not? You go, Carrie!

Looks who’s decided to join her. It’s none other than Princess Petunia. Not everyone can see her. :)

No harm done… plus it does wonders for her knee-arthritis and her sense of balance.

I think that might be a larger version of the device Jesse had in his entryway yesterday.

Is that a poppy?

I hope Carrie was mindful of that metal pistil.

Carrie is the Flour Queen at the Ballard Bakery and Small Engine Repair Shop.

Carrie gets carried away.

And here I was thinking “What a great idea!”

I’d been hoping to find a flower chair at Flora’s Fine Furniture and Fruit, in her post-Christmas Clearance.

sniffle…

Sadly.. the only thing that came by was Scooter and he lifted his leg on her stool.

Of course, Harold will soon stop by in his bee costume. Intent on ‘pollinating.’

Her “Delightful Afternoon” may possibly be attributed (at least partially), to the fact that her throne has real stamen power… ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )

bong,coocoo. bong, coocoo.

No shrinking violet, our Carrie!

It’s amazing what you can make with an old satellite dish and a pair of tin snips.
