Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for May 04, 2024

My wife just bought four 4-packs of pudding because they were on sale. When our cereals go on sale she’ll do that with them, too.

I know the feeling…

Sometimes we find joy in the simplest things!

Why? Does she dance to that too?

First thing came to me was Tiny Tim’s, Tip toe thru the Tulips song.

This is me when I see the Baltimore Orioles come back each spring.

Maybe if you two behaved like… well… humans when out in public, she would probably not act like this!

Break out the wooden shoes.

I can so relate to this. Joy in simple things!

It’s the little things in life that give us joy, right?

Mom’s are happy when anything for their family is on sale, especially for the kids.

funny

Early spring, mom’s door bell rang and neighbor holding an armload of tulips. She was crying and apoligizing that her 3 year old son cut ALL of mom’s tulips.

Don’t wanna be around her when feminine hygiene products are on sale!

just wait kids…. it’ll be your turn sooner or later!

That’s me when I find hay, GOOD hay, at less than 15$ a bale.

If Darryl hears this from the bedroom, he might get the wrong idea.

Mine are, too.

A month or two before a quack “surgeon” assured that I would never do so again, I planted 350 ballerina tulips; put each bulb in the hole with some stuff to keep the critters from eating them.

The squirrels don’t seem to have gotten the memo; 4th season of blooms and I doubt if half of them are still there – but the ones that are there are lovely!

Once read a consumer reports in the 80’s that listed Ultra Bright fluoride teethpaste as a best buy which is available in the dollar stores for $1.25 – I won’t pay $4

We should see her when the kids are gone to Grandma’s for two days.

Some flowering bulbs( like tulips) aren’t to be taken for granted in warm climates like southern AZ (which is where the MacPhersons appear to live) It doesn’t get cold enough for bulbs to bloom annually, so they have to be dug up each year and refrigerated for 10-14 weeks before replanting again for spring bloom.

Ain’t nothing simple about that!

It’s the same with my wife. She is so happy in her little garden.

I do that when gas is on sale!

Different things excite people differently.

Aren’t they about two months late?

My favorite flower

My irises are blooming!

Gloriously beautiful colors, more than most flowers…celebrate them while we can!

Always a heartwarming sight to see the spring flowers!

You should see me when cat food is on Sale!!!!

Find a reason to rejoice and then REJOICE.

I would be thrilled to see such a thing too! The deer/rabbits never allow my tulips to bloom!

Small pleasures can bring great joy.

The deer will eat them all.

See Mrs. Gray she’s proud today Because her roses are in bloom!
