...when I told her I got a Persian Shield at the party, she said "What's that, a new brand of condom ?"
I had a great day at Jerry & Elaine's. The temperature was in the mid 80s and we laughed about it being a "dry heat" after several weeks of having to endure uncharacteristic humidity. Here are a few photos I took. Sorry for the quality. I hope Lynn's are much better.
Here's the entrance to Jerry's driveway...
Here's Jerry's welcoming committee of one beneath his kayak...
In a thread in the Terrestrial Garden Forum there was some discussion about Jade Plants. Here is Jerry standing beside his 7'+ Jade plant. This photo shows Jerry with hair on his arms and he also still has eyebrows. He lost his eyebrows and the hair on his arms while BBQing.....
Everything Jerry grows seems to be tall. Here is some 6' tall "horses tail" next to his pond....
Here's Jerry's pond. Notice the light colored object on the bottom? The next photo is a close up of that object...
Here are the remains of some neighborhood kid who was a pest...... I'll let Jerry explain....
Jerry also had about 8 other non-ponding guests in addition to us ponders in this photo. Starting at the top (1200) and going clockwise are the following: MikeW is on the top. I can't tell if I caught Mike with a mouth full of food or if that photo was taken when Jerry was playing with his "fart sound making device" which he placed near MikeW.... Sitting to the left of MikeW is BlindToo, another Mike. Sitting to the left of MikeToo is Charla. Sorry Charla for cutting you in half.... Sitting to the left of Charla with his back to the camera is Argos5 (Brian). Sitting to the left of Brian is Frank, husband of Songbird (Lynn). And last but certainly not least is Songbird (Lynn).
Here are some more photos of the group...
I too made off with a few plants from Jerry's greenhouse.....Manihot and and purple charlie
