Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for October 13, 2019

got any other ideas, Patty, to cheer Charlie Brown up?

Summer does go by way too fast, C.B.!

New England falls are lovely with all the foliage, but New England winters are terrible.

We only have two seasons in Iceland, according to the calendar – winter and summer. The first day of winter is in less than 2 weeks (October 26). The first day of summer will be on April 23 next year. But, on the bright side, Christmas will be over for the most part in about 4 months (I’ve seen some places that already have their decorations up).

. . . and if we age at all, it will be imperceptible.

“Well the sun comes up, and the sun goes down, and the hands on the clock go round and round. First it’s time to get up, then it’s time to lay down. Life sure gets tedious, don’t it?” Attributed to Walter Brennan on various lyrics web sites.

Patty’s right to be upset with him in the last panel.

“And the seasons, they go ’round and ’round,

And the painted ponies go up and down:

We’re captive on a carousel of time.

We can’t return; we can only look behind from where we came,

And go ’round and ’round and ’round in the Circle Game."

Charlie: I’ve always been on your side. But don’t dismiss Fall – my favorite season of all!9

Ever the pessimist.

Most of the people I’ve spoken with that hate Winter, do absolutely nothing, during those months. One of the best ways to at least tolerate New England Winters, is to dress for them, and get out, and do things.

I love Autumn.
