Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 18, 2021

Sylvia’s heart is in the right place, opinions vary as to the location of her brain.

Well, Sylvia doesn’t have a dog to walk. The plant may do better riding on a dolly, or even a skateboard.

Yeah no kiddine,oldpine….HEY Sylvia is out again, dang where is her keeper when I want her…HEY.

Well, it aerates the roots and gets it some fresh sunlight instead of being stuck inside Sylvia’s apartment, so it’s not all bad. The plant’s been around for 15 years now, so it doesn’t seem to mind these walks all that much.

I think with a few more tugs, that plant will no longer be potted.

Sylvia, however, will remain potty.

The plant thinks this stroll is kind of a drag.

Sylvia, there’s a reason it’s called a plant. Because it’s planted.

I hope she brought a baggie or two for any soil that falls out of the pot. I hate finding soil on the ground. Er, I mean…

Plants prefer to remain in situ Sylvia.

Sylvia has an aversion to dogs but not to large house plants.

dragon fruit plant?

A clever deception.. actually, Sylvia is taking her plant for a bit of a trim.

It was Scooter, but we all know Scooter…

Doesn’t look the plant is going to stand for this treatment.

As a plant person, this is painful to look at. Call the SPCP.

Their shared IQ gives them a lot in common.

Now Syl, you know better than to play favorites with “the kids.” You’re going to make the others jealous and resentful.

That plant must have a heck of a root system!

whether it want to go or not.
