Fraggin' In A Winter Wonderland

.
Winter will officially begin this week, so "these here" are legitimate wintertime frags.

If you have some weekly loose ends that need to be tied up into a neat little bundle, you will find a link at the bottom of this post which will take you over to Mrs. 4444's place where you will find all the frag linkin' you could ever want.

A little bit of snow fell on Lake Wobegon this week.

Oh wait, this isn't Lake Wobegon - - - it's Wisconsin Rapids, but the snow fell on us anyway.

I am TICKLED PINK to have snow - - - I only wish it was MORE and that the temperatures were COLDER.

Fisherhubby never did get around to doing my list of "put-aways."  So here lies an upside down lawn chair, a fire pit,  - - -
.
.

Another lawn chair, a patio table WITH umbrella, and even a couple of terra cotta pots (If you look closely enough you will find them) all blanketed with snow.

They are our snow gauges.

You gotta have snow gauges to give some depth perception and help you figure out how much snow you actually got.

These things are very important when you live on the frozen tundra.

What was I THINKIN' asking FH to put these very valuable snow gauge thingies away anywho???

I had a brilliant brainstorm to add some flash and dash to my Christmas Bowl and Pitcher.   For YEARS I've been putting the greenery around its base and tucking the red candles in the white Moravian Stars back behind the greenery.

This year I decided to add some spun glass ornaments to the bowl.

I ran out to Wally's bright and shining world and came home with a package of ornaments that I thought would fill the bill, or should I say BOWL, nicely.

As I plunked the very first one in, I heard a slight shattering sound.

Oh yes I did.  I broke a tiny bit off of one of my brand new shiny bits and bobbles.

I think I've placed it so that the broken part doesn't show - - - can you see it?

Nope, neither can I.

But I still know it's there.

Sigh.

I went searching for a white gravy boat that I could use in all seasons.

This is all I could find - - - and it is green, red, and white.  Yes, I did feel it was necessary to sate the colors in case you couldn't see them for yourselves.

(Maybe some of you have red-green colorblindness.  It could happen.)

At first I was really disappointed that it was Christmassy.

Then it DAWNED on me - - - that's not Christmassy, that's cranberry-y!!!!

This is cranberry country - - - I WILL be able to use this gravy boat year around.

SCORE!

Will you look at this goofy man I married?

We have a dining room table, a kitchen table (both with chairs I might add) AND he has his new old antique roll top desk.

And yet, he CHOOSES to work on his computer all bunched up inbetween the sofa and coffee table with his feet twisted into some pretzel shape beneath him.  (Unless he decides to kneel beside his bed to do it - that's his OTHER favorite computer pose.)

He piles his "stuff" including his coffee cup all up on my coffee table.

Oh, but LOOK!!  There are his reading glasses - - - one pair on his nose and one beside him.

This is how I like the loveseat to look.
.
.

It happens to be one of the spots FH LOVES to drape himself.  (Obviously this photo was taken pre-Christmasizing.)
.
.

Sunday our great Dane came home from church with us and made a beeline for the loveseat, saying as he went, "This is MY spot when I come over here."

Thing of it is, whether it's Fisherhubby or Dane who piles onto the loveseat,  THIS is how it looks when he gets off:
.
.

Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised, they are both only about eleven.  Eleven year old boys can't be EXPECTED to straighten up after themselves, can they?

Oh, and please do not be insulted FOR Fisherhubby that I said he was eleven.  He is very PROUD of his juvenile status.

I had never before seen a Christmas tree formed out of books, then suddenly they began to pop up all over blogland this Christmas season.

.

.    

The other day I walked into the teen section of the library and what to my wondering eyes should appear - - -
.
.

But a book Christmas tree with paper star on top and faux lights twirled all around.

Cool!

This arrived in the mail today - a Christmas card from Nancygrayce.

Look how it's addressed.

Fisherhubby is famous in blogland and he's never even made his first post.

He must be REALLY lucky to be married to me.

;-)

Some Christmas presents appeared under our Christmas tree wreath today.

And just look at that!  Even THEY are snow themed.
