Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 12, 2017

Who wouldn’t?

Well, the Hadleys don’t like their neighbors, so they’ve been setting these in a row just inside their property line. They figure 3 more of these marvelous creations ought to be enough to convince them to move. After that, they’ll give them to the Wallingtons.

That one looks familiar. You can’t have too many.

Oh, Yeah, I would love to have that frog! But are they reproducing? Where is Harold getting his supply?

Sometimes decorative objects do have a way of reproducing, I have noticed.

Do they have enough garbage bins?

I think it’s cute and the Hadleys will surely appreciate it.

Well…

I prefer decorative bunnies, but this just me.

All I can say is " Ribbit..Ribbit ! "

No word from our SusanSunshine this morning. We can only hope and pray that she’s safe and her house is undamaged by the horrific conflagration that has destroyed so many lives and homes of her neighbors in Santa Rosa.

Hang in there Susan. You are in the thoughts and prayers of all your friends here on Ballard Street. We Love You !

Well, they have four, and style dictates that they should be displayed in groups of odd numbers. We would expect nothing less of the Hadleys.

They’ll either jump for joy, or be hoppin’ mad…

If they’re not closeting the previous ones, it’s a good bet.

Why not? Decorative frogs are all the rage, especially if you can use them as lawn ornaments.
