Pickles by Brian Crane for August 14, 2020

did Earl whip out those shades from his jacket?

Why not? It solves everything!

Where can you get Lawn-Colored Glasses anyway?

Not much rain this year!

Opal less grass cutting :-)

Had to mow the weeds (I meant lawn) yesterday, 1st time in 2+ months. July we had 30 mm of rain, so far August has given us 120 mm, hence the weeds.

I wonder why Earl gets different clothes every day but Opal has the same purple shirt or dress every single day?

Nice try, though, Earl!

Remember Erma Bombek? “The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank”!

It is what it is! Opal always has to find fault….it always recovers….. the yard…

Good thing we don’t have a lawn, 1.02 (0.04 in) mm of rain this month so far.

If anyone ever read the Wizard of Oz books, you’d remember that the emerald city is just a normal city and everyone is legally required to wear green glasses. This is in opposition to the movie where they wanted to show off how great color movies can be.

Fun facts.

I personally, fixed the drought in my region. Watered the front yard thoroughly over 24-36 hours. The day following, we had a “derecho”.

Side note – spell check doesn’t recognize derecho but I googled it and that’s the correct spelling.

yeahbut, Brian’s yard looks plenty green from out here, no?

Surprised he did not wear rose colored glasses, cast a rose color on the lawn.

These two seniors are so precious.

Tell me about it, and every year in California seems hotter than the last.

Lawns aren’t ecofriendly. (however it’s spelled)

My glasses would tint green if I also put them in my shorts for a moment.

Just wait until he looks in the neighbor’s yard… the grass is always greener…

Whatever works works.

(How else would we tolerate some people?)
