Get Your Hot Buttered Frags Here!

.

During these busy weeks I look forward to the Friday Fragment Linky party hosted by Mrs. 4444.

Seems I'm USUALLY able to pull my thoughts together and get out a fractured post even when I've done precious little other blogging.

This morning, while Fisherhubby and I were both right here at home, in the same house and everything, he sent me an e-mail link to this t-shirt on pinterest.

At first I thought it must be spam, 'cause I didn't see anything about it HE would think was funny.

"Greggie, did you just send me an e-mail of a t-shirt???"  queried I.  (And I did MY querying right out loud live and in person, I might add.)

"Yep"

"Why??? It doesn't look like anything you'd think was funny!"

"Cause I don't want you to talk to me in your teacher voice anymore."

I'm pretty sure I don't HAVE a teacher voice.   ;-)

Besides which, this is the wrong shirt.  He must have thought it said "Don't USE your teacher voice with me!"

Fishserhubby hit the big six O on Tuesday.  (Of course I am MUCH younger and don't have to face the dreaded six O for fifteen more months.)

My MIL Robin, who is the "gifting queen" sent him this fishy cookie bouquet.

I do NOT know how she does it, but she finds the most perfect things to suit the receiver.

Just look at that gingerbread fisherman in the center.

There is a pesky fly driving me nuts.  He's been following me from room to room and activity to activity.

He hides when I get the fly swapper in my hand.

Maybe I wouldn't attract flies so easily if I took a shower.

 BIL Joe is a real Joker, isn't he?

Another of Fisherhubby's prize gifts from MIL Robin.

Fishermen are P-I-C-K-Y about their equipment brands, and THIS is a good 'un.   The Big Cheese is DELIGHTED with it, Gator chomping all over the place.

Now that the first frost could happen here in Central Wisconsin ANY NIGHT, my grown-from-seed marigolds are finally in their prime.

Go figure.

Maybe NEXT spring I need to plant them INDOORS before the OUTDOORS is warm enough to let them thrive.

Note to self:  JUST DO IT.

I showed this gorgeous Victorian house on a SIMC post a few weeks ago.  Many of you drooled over it.

You had to get in line behind moi to do so.

I have since learned that it is one of two "Arpin" houses, so named because they were built, side by side on the river bank, by the Arpin brothers way back in the circa 1900 day.

Sunday as I walked across the Grand Avenue Bridge downtown I spied the roof line of that Victorian Arpin House down river.

Too bad I don't use one of those big heavy fancy smancy cameras so the picture would have been clearer for you.

This cute little dog (cat?) deal-a-ma bobby came into the Loft this week.  I decided to bring him home.

I believe even I can handle a pet like this!

I put him in my driveway beside the antique watering can.

Now I just need to accessorize them for fall.

Because, fall begins on Saturday you know.  

In spite of the fact that MOST of you have been working on your fall decor for at LEAST a month, maybe two, Autumn begins by the calendar and by the sun on Saturday.

Just sayin'

Would somebody PLEASE 'splain to me why during the height of our drought this summer - - - when the grass was dead, brown, and ugly - - - the weeds flourished?  

That "lovely" little cushion of green around our solar light is some sort of weed or other that self-propagated there.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Today I leave you with this lovely Lake Wazeecha vista.  Wouldn't you like to join me for a sit-down conflab on that little green bench?
