Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 11, 2021

Fall harvest season Janis, those pumpkins of yours didn’t grow on trees.

How does she think they are going to live if they don’t work?

Back to the roadside vegetable sand are we? This has taken a surprising turn. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, as they say.

All the farmers I knew had daily chores, especially if they raised animals A week away took MAJOR planning and they couldn’t always pick the time.

You’re not alone, Gene. My parents have done that to me, too.

found something else to do with your life’s I see.

Business closed but life, not so much.

A lonely mom is a mom with tunnel vision.

Speak up, sonny boy. You’ll avoid further confusion.

Arlo and Janice should consider the property near the kids they looked at a couple years ago. That would get them closer.

If they could find someone to take care of the chickens, they could visit around the holidays. Even in south not much grows in a garden.

Hell, bring the damn chickens with you. Plenty of room.

Do you suppose they just closed until Spring?

Who will feed the chickens?

They are probably busier than before trying to make ends meet……

Gene’s hair turned grey!

Meg must be old enough for school; so she couldn’t miss that

Is it October in their time???

I knew it….Janis has a fantasy growing in her head which is based on the kids being out of work with nothing better to do than return home.

Do like other farmers and put off social events until the harvest is in. That’s why the celebration months are late November and December.

Shakespeare’s tragedies and comedies all relied on miscommunication and people acting without good information. If Romeo and Juliet had cell phones they would not have died. The main difference is that at the end of the tragedy, everyone dies, in the comedies they have a wedding or some sort of party.

Interesting new life choice.

Getting back to the Land

Life goes on at the other end of a mother’s world !!

They are adults with a family. Of course they are doing a lot. It is insulting of Janis to say this.

They still have the chickens and veggies to take care of. Janis, those things aren’t going to take care of them selves.

Out of work and never been busier!

You’d be amazed…
