The reaper is already regretting going to her house.

He could be there forever!!!

He is feeling pretty grim.

She certainly doesn’t fear the reaper!

Apparently, this reaper has a little side hustle going.

You reap what you saw.

More cowbell

Well, first he has to clean it up.

Pruning the deadwood first.

“How about a nice, cold lemonade on the back porch and I’ll show you pictures of my grandkids.”

This one you got to work for before you can take her.

I have quite a few dead branches that I’d like to get trimmed before I go

I’m gonna ask him to let me finish the book I’m reading before we depart. (That’s why I’m only 24 pages into DFW’s Infinite Jest, and one of the reasons why I remain at only 24 pages into the book.)

Nice new twist on the Grim Reaper gags. Loved it!

Is she compulsive about making sure all her affairs are in order — in this case, the yard neat and trimmed — before she goes, or she just figured she’d get some free labor out of him. Surprised he agreed to it, though — wonder what’s in it for him?

In one of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books Death takes a sabbatical and works as a farmhand.

“Oh, and on the way, let’s pay a visit to Celia’s petunias. She always was so smug about those things.”

the grim reaper branches out…

One of the “Red Hat” ladies I presume…

My work here is done. Now we’ll have a look at YOUR yard.

LMAO :)

Sent this one to my BFF. She’s out in 90°f weeding her garden. Don’t know WHEN she gets to enjoy it.
