Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for October 16, 2023

A leaf of faith

I saw a leaf pile about a year ago on the side of road that was big enough for me to jump into. I immediately jumped into it. It was awesome.

I never understood why anyone would jump into a pile of leaves.

Rake of ages… with apologize to Chris D’Arienzo.

I like to kick and crunch leaves!

Impressive…a reverse dive…

“There’s no point in being grown up if you can’t be childish sometimes.” Tom Baker as The Doctor (from Doctor Who).

Never lose the inner child in you!

According to my wife, I have no inner child. It’s all on the outside.

I didn’t have a second childhood. I never got out of my first.

My sister gave me a T-shirt it reads: “Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.”

These women know me.

Leaf him be. He’s enjoying himself.

Mulching in place is easier and better for the grass and soil.

“Leaf it” until tomorrow.

“Don’t do that! There could be a stick that will put your eye out.” ~ Mother Wizard

… Ticks, Chiggers, Itchy leaf crumbles, Mould, Hidden pitchforks, Eek!

All this leaf jumping escapes me. However, now that I think of it, folks in my town used to be able to burn their leaves and the town smelled wonderful around Halloween. That was before politicians decided citizens weren’t really adults and put a stop to all that.

The sun will come out tomorrow…

Go for it Wiz! Life’s too short not to enjoy the silly things in life.

Stop raking them up. Leave them.

Adults are just kids with a lot more experience in being kids.

It is perfectly OK to jump into a pile of leaves you have just raked up yourself. It is rude and dangerous to jump into a pile collected by someone else. For one thing, where is the rake?

Why not?…..

Yes!!! Keep the kid in you, Wizard!!!

Amen

Wiz, go for it!
