Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for May 11, 2019

Why not put the empty pots where you want them and THEN fill them with dirt? It would save Arlo’s back.

He should use a hand truck

Isn’t it about time for Janis to make her annual bikini shopping trip?

Honey-do jobs – the death of many a husband. Is it a plot?

I wish I could whistle with two fingers. My Dad would call us from the back step, where ever we were in the neighborhood.

I go thru this BS every year. And when the plants die from neglect in July, I get the blame for not watering them.

My wife moves her pots herself, most of the time. She’s 17 years younger than I am and closer to the ground!

Janis really has him trained!

Love the detail where Janis has dirt on her knees; very real! Also I have a two-wheel dolly to shlep the heavy pots around. Janis is so much like my wife I almost think Jimmy has met her.

“Oh, pool-boy!”

“If the women don’t find you handsome, at least they’ll find you handy!”

A rare three-quarter pose! How nice!

Not on your life, Janis. No whistling for the houseboy.

This is incentive for Arlo to show Janis a better way to do this – or at least get a back brace.

Been there, done that

I’m fairly certain that once I’m no longer able to do the physical labor around here, Mrs. Baker is planning to replace me with a younger, studlier model.

I hope Arlo watches soccer, when he puts the pot down he should be rolling on the ground in pain.

It’s the feminine wiles at work and they work

Getting harder for Arlo now. Not like he was 25 years ago.

This about sharing the fun of gardening….huff..puff..

We have garden dollies.

“I knew I kept him for some reason.”

When people ask what I do around the house, my usual answer is “I lift heavy things”

When The Admiral & I go shopping, a lot of cashiers are perplexed when I pick up all the stuff and then I tell them that I know my job – Mule.

Arlo, and his back, hope her first choice to place it is the right choice.
