For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 27, 2020

so much for spending time with littler sister, eh, Michael?

But he’s already busy doing one of your chores, John.

Glimpses of the future Mike with his kids.

This is not a good month for John as a parent. If my son were playing so well with his baby sister, I would do the raking and leave them to it. Of course knowing John, he probably expects Michael to rake AND take care of his baby sister at the same time.

Leave it to dumb Jon to spoil the moment.

Good one, dad

Earn your keep, boy.

Not funny. More like bad timing.

How to blow a sweet moment, Dad. Let the kids play : ) Mikey can rake later, when ALL the leaves are down.

Never waste a teaching opportunity, unless you’ve already learned your lesson.

Crap.

Better to leave them alone. Better for the lawn in the long run. The yard doesn’t need to resemble a golf green.

Fire up the mower and mulch. My daughters always fought over who got to drive the mower and mow the lawn. (I sat in the shade of our big oak and supervised with my eyes closed.)

Bit of a man hater aren’t you John will take the baby Mike will rake it’s probably his chore anyway

She’s too little to rake…

Ahhh! Remembering the days when I was a kid in the 50’s and we could burn the leaves at the curb. The smell of burning leaves was wonderful. Didn’t think too much about air pollution back then.

I laughed out loud at this one. I took it as the joke it was intended to be and enjoyed it.

The green leaf is wittier.

Love this duo in mother nature’s lap.

The multi coloured autumn leaves is one thing that we miss down in the eastern part of the globe.

Wind!

Wow…April is almost 6 months old already.
