Scroll down and you will soon see the post for Monday, being the conclusion of Mark’s train adventure.

(Tue) Solve what problem? It seems to me talking with Mark creates problems. Anyway, standing beside a nice carving of a male cardinal (it is a carving, right?), Cherry gets interrupted by Violet Cheshire, possibly signaling the start a new story. Like Mark, Cherry’s stable of opponents seems to be limited. This does not bode well, but we can hope for a new nemesis.

 Ignorance and Arrogance: Always a bad combination!

(Wed) One might have thought that Violet would already know whether the SSS president likes hibiscus flowers, as well as whether she is allergic to them, especially given Violet’s prominent position (whatever that is). Apparently, Violet purchased and installed these new flowers without conferring with Cherry or having her do the installation. Does Cherry even still work for the Sunny Soleil Society? Violet seems unfazed and unconcerned. Rivera has made Violet’s pettiness, insecurity, and shallowness transparent from the start. So why would Cherry be surprised?

Cherry ponders the fate of the hibiscus.

(Thur) Let’s just ask the obvious question: Why can’t whoever put them in take them out? Seems pretty logical, right? In any event, out they go! But where, Cherry wonders? I have an idea:  Plant them over at Georgia’s place to attract new bees. In fact, there is a special hibiscus bee, but it tends to be solitary, and it nests underground in hard soil by salt marshes. Fortunately, the hibiscus can attract other bees, too.
