Pickles by Brian Crane for August 17, 2012

Better let Nelson not visit for a while next season.

Very timely strip. I just saw on the news tonight that the early warm weather this winter, followed be frosts in spring, killed the pollinating honey bees and decimated the cherry crops in the Mid-West this year.

“Sure, blame it on the kid, Earl”.

How do you get an “early” frost in the Spring? I suppose the gets a late frost in the Autumn. lol

Not the Grandson!!!!

Was that all that was left?

Looks like Nelson got the first and last one.

grandchildren get all the strawberries too. lol

I always get a tree full of almonds… This year none. BUT I have a million lemons.

Lucky Nelson!

LOL xxx

But…but… No mention of squirrels? They’re the culprits around here.

Out here in central KS there is massive crop falures one of the hardest hit is corn. Seeing all the dead corn stalks is horrible. Food prices will climb like gas prices are climbing.Nelson enjoy that last peach. Wish I had one.

There’s more fuzz on the peach than on the top of Earl’s head.

what global warming? that implies the globe. we’ve had absolutely gorgeous weather all year, here in virginia.

so the west is baking and burning. it’s always done that. one reason why my father quit farming in kansas. perfectly “normal”.
