That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for July 31, 2020

Greta didn’t want her grandmother to know she wasn’t wearing a bra.

Rose had social anxiety, so she made to always have a potted plant or two handy to hide behind.

“What was that dear? Who did you get a pair of pants from?”

I see bathing hadn’t been invented yet.

“Either of those would look lovely on my grave dear; thank you, you’ve earned your inheritance.”

I don’t think that’s what he meant when he said you’re blossoming.

“When I said you should get potted after graduation I meant…oh never mind!”

her motto was ‘it’s good to have a little pot on hand’…

“Ezmeralda….If you make one more comment about your pots looking like my bosom I’m going to slap you into next Tuesday!”

“I had a bird in hand to go with those, but he flew away.”

Her version of growing a pair.

Here, dearie, take this apple before you go.

You have 2 budding romances? That is a thorny issue.

Those will look great next to your BATHTUB dear.

Snow White? No, I haven’t seen her. My name is Briar Rose and I don’t want any apples. I’m partial to rose hips.

Feeling the burn in her biceps, Kathy decides to ignore grandma’s suggestion of, “Try putting them over there instead, and see how that looks.”

“I declare, you kids nowadays with your flower power!”

Age advising youth…

The optimism of youth/ was written all over young Ruth/ til the crabby old crone/ caught the kid alone/ and told her the terrible truth. ( “The Trump is coming , the virus is coming…”, etc., etc…)

She has a lovely pair of … potted plants!

Greta always carried two rose bushes every time she had to Granny. Granny spit out her mixture of tobacco and garlic and said, “Helloooo Dearie”

There is never a rose without a prick.

Bah! Take to roses and see me in the morning! These new fangled wizards don’t know sh*t.

all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist (again, Chrome can automatically translate if necessary), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. So far, 4 works by him have been used here (5 times, including 1 repeat).

has the repeat (my comment there included 4 of the artist info URLs, the 2nd of which may be unresponsive).

“Speak up, dearie. Did you say potting roses makes you all horny or thorny?”

Or consider washing that dress every now and then.

The Doyenne, long years ago/ had worn that girlish glow/ she exuded endurance/ but lacked health insurance/ hence Time had brought her low.

She might also consider bathing every week.

Margo, decided that her boobs needed something but all she had was two poison ivy plants. she was sorry but the itch was making her breast swell, some good afterall.

Yes, my dear, mine were once that high and perky! Now they just keep my knees warm. :>)

They said to keep from touching my face for covid-19 I was to have a margarita in one hand and a pizza in the other. I’m too young to drink, and they haven’t invented pizza yet … so this was the best I could do.

A pair of thorny rose bushes keeps the horny boys away from her pair.

Another repeat. It must be the weekend …

“No dear, we stuff our bodice with SOCKS, not POTS.”

“Sweetie, that isn’t what gramma meant when she sahid to bring her some pot…”
