Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 29, 2022

Yes, and the moss has gotten up as high as his knees.

The tropics and books do not go well together.

I hope he has lots of mosquito repellent.

i want that

Martin is on the verge of being permanently overgrown.

Oh…we were all wondering why Martin’s house had mildew. It all slimy greenish…gag.

There’s a drought on, Martin. Unless you’re in your own greenhouse, I fear we are going to have to “pull the plug” on your micro-mini. Sheriff!

The neighbors say that strangleweed took over Millie just last week – likely the reason why Martin is smiling and pleased with his surroundings…!

Zonker Harris would approve.

It’s a cover for all the weed he is growing in the basement.

It may be nice for Martin, but it’s a little too moist and buggy for most.

He just wants to be leaf-ed alone!

Just one problem…….bugs!

Looks like one of those “How many faces can you find?” pictures…

I have a feeling that his nice microclimate is about to suffer a “Her-icane”, initiating a sudden “Climate-Change” scenario…

His skin is the envy of all the women on Ballard St. and, without having to use any moisturizer at all.

Went to the zoo once and they had a tropical bird house. A wooden deck crossing the area on which you could walk through the warm, humid, earthy smelling area and watch the birds flying around. If I had such an adjunct to my house, I’d be there all the time.

Not a big fan of mildew myself. :)

Ha, all I have to do is step outside my door. At 11 am it’ in the 80’s with passing showers….my windows were steamed up !

Oh wow it’s me!!!

Rainforest. Where are the monkeys?
