Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for April 15, 2024

For me it is 62 Springs. I love seeing the earth awaken from the cold Winter.

I was a child of the 50s when Spring really was promising of New and exciting

I always loved spring. When I was growing up I guess I shouldn’t be here. Summer approaches and I would soon be exiled to the outside world till dark called me home. So many dangers there to deal with.

I don’t know how it is but even though I’m out of practice grilling, the first burgers of spring are the best.

“And since to look at things in bloom / Fifty springs are scarcely room …”I think it’s a lot fewer than fifty now for A & J — and I’ve gone over my limit!

I look forward to spring and summer as it leads to me being much less fat.

“Are that” sounds funny.

Thank you, Arlo & Janis and J.J. for another anniversary to celebrate and enjoy. It’s 61 Springs for me personally and 35 w/ my loving spouse. My have these numbers risen quickly, all have been thoroughly enjoyed, and now I’m looking back and appreciating them all more. Here’s to many more to come!

I don’t really care for spring. It means yard work, aches, pains, stiffness, and soreness. (Joking)

Still waiting…in the 30’s at night.

Next month, my bride and I will have been married 50 years. There are a lot of folks our age around these here parts.

We’ve had Winter, False Spring, Second Winter, Second False Spring, Final (maybe) Winter and (possibly) Real Spring. But it’s definitely “Weed the Garden” time.

Weeds! I can’t believe all the weeds! They say weeding the garden is therapeutic. Good, I can use the therapy.

At my age, there are way more springs behind me than ahead of me.

A poem writ ‘bout Spring, it’s said, is better thrown away, than read – Burmashave

that is nice, but what about the move, lets keep our eye on the ball please

Stop counting and enjoy the Spring right now. It may be your last.

70 Springs but only 69 Winters so far.

I wonder how many young people are reading but not commenting the comics here. It seem there are no commenters under maybe 35.

Janice is looking very svelte. I like it.

A pleasing number to be sure.

And – it is when I have time to spend with my husband again. I am accountant. It is April 15. Other than one client who is ill and needed an extension on their taxes, all the returns are finished and out to clients. Even our returns were done and mailed out on time this year.

Now that it is something unusual in the galaxy!

In Phoenix, spring is the harbinger of doom.

Janis looks thinner today.
