Perilous times

 

I’ll start with a caveat: This is NOT a Christmas cartoon! Even though Christmas is mentioned, this is about autumn and the Fall. 

Thank you. 

Sharing is caring

Maybe it was just my perception, but there sure seemed to be a LOT of sniffling going on in Primary last week. It's great when kids share!
 

Autumn leaves behind

There’s something about our neighborhood that makes all the leaves fall down in a single day. You need to be careful where you stand on that day.
 

Seasons in the sun

There's a certain cycle to service...
 

The nose has it!

One of many benefits of wearing a mask.
 

Wardrobe update

This one's a throwback, but it seems appropriate. Our missionaries have modified their uniforms!

The season is upon us

I wonder if this means we have Eve to blame/credit for all things pumpkin spice?

Times and seasons: Autumn and Eve

Doesn't it make sense that the Fall would happen in autumn? 

In the leafy treetop

Remember that old short story by O. Henry, The Last Leaf? I started to think about that as I colorized this cartoon. I had to change the caption so it wouldn't make me cry!

The best parts

I had a friend who rhapsodized about the smells of September: freshly-sharpened pencils, new textbooks and the fresh-cut grass of a football field. I kinda like the smell of November.

Smells of the season

Actually, I think scented ties could behind of a cool thing!

An abundance

It's amazing how many leaves one tree can produce!

Times and seasons

It seems like all of the trees in my yard decide to shed their leaves on the same day. That's how I know autumn has officially arrived!

Ahh, November!

By every wind of doctrine

Some people just don't want to listen!

It's that time of year when everything changes

In October, everything becomes pink, pumpkin flavored or both!

Going pink

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so things become awash in pink.

And that's what fall is like here

When I lived in Provo, I had a catalpa tree that did this very thing. One minute it would be covered with leaves, and the next minute the branches were bare and the lawn was ankle deep in catalpa leaves.

This gag also reminds me of my missionary trainer. He tried to teach me all kinds of things...but not a lot of them had to do with being a missionary. Bless his heart! I learned a lot from him!

It's in the air

Word from Alberta is that although it's decent weather in Calgary, there have been snotcicle sightings near Lethbridge.

Welcome to fall!

Maple leaves forever

I'm not really even sure what this one means, but I like it.
