Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for March 24, 2024

“Spring is nature’s way of saying, ’Let’s party!’ "—Robin Williams

“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”—Margaret Atwood

“In the Spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours.”—Mark Twain

“No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.”—Hal Borland

“Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems.”—Rainer Maria Rilke

We live and learn. Thank you JJ. Found this: (Took several tries to get this past the censor)

One of van D y k e’s best-known poems is titled “Time Is” (Music and Other Poems, 1904)…The second section of the poem, which was read at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, reads as follows:

Time is / Too slow for those who / Wait, / Too swift for those who / Fear, / Too long for those who / Grieve, / Too short for those who / Rejoice, / But for those who / Love, / Time is not.

Can’t believe it took an Einstein to note time was relative.

Time is relative to your position in space. It has been spring in my space for the last 3 weeks and I have all the yellow pollen on my car to prove it. It was almost 80 today and sunny.

No he wasn’t. Though I loved him in Coach.

Ah, the banjo-playing deputy episode! S5 : E32

Yesterday we got a dusting of snow. We refer to snow this time of year as my wife’s birthday snow because 9 times out of 10 there is snow around her birthday. So go ahead blame her. ;-)

It’s Spring! 32 degrees in South Jersey as I post this.

Is Dick VanDyke still alive? (test the theory).

….won’t you come home, Bill Bailey?

won’t you come home?……

Barely any snow this winter in MinneSNOWta and after spring we get 6 to 8" winter storm. Some places have lots more.

Heck….I thought they were talking about the Smother’s Brothers.

Yes, it was Jerry. Not really funnier RIP!

Spring is the teenager of the seasons. Sunny and beautiful one day, stormy and scary the next.

Jerry never recovered from “My Mother The Car”, nor did Ann Southern

So, using the name “Gaylord” is bad?

Now it’s Spring. Why do I have an urge to go on a pilgrimage?

We often have the heat and the air conditioning on during February. Some really hot days, some really cold ones. I don’t think we’ve ever used the heat in March, in FL.

yep

Is he the guy who owned a 1928 Porter and had mother issues?

Dick vanDyke said, “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”

I thought it was Dick and Tommy.

Come to central NC and walk through the pollen clouds and windswept swirls, Janis.

I still don’t know where exactly the two of them live but I suspect it’s south of the Dakotas.

I really enjoyed Jerry VanDyke!

Can’t wait till Summer, when we can all gripe about how HOT and humid it is outside!!

Reenacting year starts in April. Soon it will be 1775 again for us – until July when it becomes 1776 for 2 months and then back to 1775.
