Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 19, 2021

The big mud puddle in the empty lot next door ain’t a lake.

We have people pitching tents on prime lakefront property now.

All I need is a fishing pole. I’ll find someplace to sit…or stand.

Low maintenance if it never floods.

That’s certainly nicer than my lakeside place.

If only Eddie had learned how to swim…

Entertainment and running water, what more can one ask for?

I love what Eddie has done with the place.

Where is Eddie? Croc got him?

Eddie’s gotta be really short to sit in that chair…

However, Miss Millie High-Maintenance has run off with his sandwich…

I hope the place came with instructions, can’t figure out what the thing hanging to the left of the chair is. Eddie could be missing out on a prime feature.

The rain barrel is a nice touch. I’d want some blinds for walls.

Til the tide comes in.

Why does it need a rain barrel?

Eddie doesn’t need much.
