Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 13, 2018

Not much, but he could start a hedge fund.

Aug will get it trimmed once it impinges on his space.i

Augie, that is.

Angie is not stupid you know, the hedge hides Alice, allowing Angie to read his steamy Romance books without criticism or ridicule.

Dennis isn’t the only one. Auto correct changed Augie to Angie and I had to get quite stern with it before it conceded.

Been sitting there a while, have you?

That’s either one engrossing book or one very fast growing hedge.

The labor will cost more than the hardware.

I can hear it now when they do get one. " We" need to trim that bush Augie. Until I got married, I never knew that " we" is a singular pronoun, That means the same as " you" .

She looks bushed.

Move your chairs. You’re giving old people a bad name.

After a major limb broke off of one of our fig trees, my wife has seen the light on heavy pruning. Of course, I get to do it!

It would cost him his privacy that he covets! ;o]

After seeing the different gadgets here, it would probably cost an arm and a leg…

literally

“If I can stall just a little longer, it’ll cover up her mouth…”

Augie comes from the low hanging fruit, branch of the family tree.

The only thing Augie’s trimming is the budget for lawn and garden tools.
