Grand Avenue by Mike Thompson for June 30, 2020

Kate’s given up trying to get Michal to use proper English.

My favorite interactive plant is the Venus Fly Trap. Fun to watch and it gets rid of those pesky flies.

It’s all in how you market it!

and now your yard will be covered in them

“What do you “GOT” there?” Like nails on a chalkboard …

Some are more fun than others. Poison Ivy is very interactive; I don’t recommend it.

Hopefully that wish wasn’t for a dandelion free yard.

My parents hated when we would pick up and blow on dandelions. Haven’t done this in a very long time.

Wishes? Keep waiting for that ice cream truck to show up with everything free…

Forgot the part about blowing it in the neighbor’s yard.

If you’re going to pick up and blow dandelions do it in a neighbor’s yard when the neighbor’s not home and nobody in the neighborhood is looking….

College friend of my sister’s, who had grown up without lawns in the St. Louis ghetto, asked her one day, “Wasn’t it nice of the University to plant those little yellow flowers in the grass?” Also good for bees and salads.

When I was very very young, my classmates called them fairy flowers because when you blow on the flowers, all the little fairies come out to play.
