Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 25, 2024

Autumn memories.

Notice the similarity in the bill of Arlo’s cap and Janice’s hair? :-)

Is there anywhere in the U.S. that leaf-burning is still legal?

I loved the burning leaves when I was a kid. As an adult, I loved our burn barrel in Illinois.

Ah, the golden days when you could burn your leaves and pretend they didn’t pollute the air…..

I love the smell of burning leaves. Hard on my sinuses now though. Had a couple fall into my BBQ pit a few days ago as I was starting the fire. Was an accident. Honest.

Teenager dreams?

Those were the days.

It’s going to feel odd, but good in a way, not raking leaves this year. A tornado earlier this year took out all of our trees except the evergreen. May have a few ransoms leave land in our yard. I can handle that.
