Morning After and Other Frags

..
Here I sit at my computer on yet another Thursday evening writing my Friday Frags.

The monumental events this week, at least for ME, were two snow storms.  I can't WAIT to show you the loveliness that is the morning after a big snow and I'm gonna mix some O.F. (other frags) in there too.

So let's get started!

* * * Frag 1 - During the Snow * * *  

.

.  

All afternoon Sunday and all day Wednesday we had large clumpy white snow falling from the skies.

I feel a bit frustrated that my camera won't capture it the way it really looks - - - this is just a "clue" and you'll have to use your imagination to really "see" it.

Notice my snow gauges aren't showing much snow 'cause I took this photo when it was all just starting.  (A few days of mid afternoon thawing in mid January will do that.)

* * * Frag 2 - Morning After "A" * * *

.

.

Just look at the lovely long shadows cast by the morning sun across the snow.

The snow gauges are feeling pretty "blanketed" and happy.

Too bad the furnace repairman had to go out there and track up my pristine white snow.

But HEY, I "ain't" complaining he got my furnace working again after 5 or so hours of no heat.

"Don't cry for me Argentina" I was warm and snug as a bug in a fleece blankie and hardly even NOTICED it got pretty nippy in here.

Course I had my hoodie hood up too.

Indoors.

On the couch.

* * * Frag 3 - O.F. "A" * * *

.

.

I must print a retraction.

In my last SIMC post I called this ice fishing pole a tip-up.  I thought since it held the tip up it WAS a tip-up.

Fisherhubby e-mailed me to tell me I was wrong.

Yes, he e-mailed me - - - why bother to tell me in person when an e-mail will do.  Besides, he knows my MAIN modes of communication are e-mail and blogging.

He said he TRIED to leave a comment and couldn't.  I believe he may need to brush up on his blogging skills.

Back to the retraction.  I guess this is JUST an ice fishing pole and a tip-up is an entirely different animal.

I stand corrected.

* * * Frag 4 - O.F. "B" * * *

.

.  

Fisherhubby also e-mailed me this.

At least he ADMITS it, which is the first step of any 12 step program, isn't it?
.

* * * Frag 5 - Morning After "B" * * *

.

. 

I ADORE how the plowed roads look the morning after a fresh new snow.

Of COURSE it's plowed the morning after - - - this is Wisconsin.  (Plus, we live on a fairly well traveled street which leads directly to the hospital so it gets plowed first.)
.
.

I just LOVE the sharp white edge of the plowed snow bank on either side of the road, the mailboxes nearly covered in a blanket of white, and everything all clean, fresh, and so so white.

Of course it's hard to show all that in a white on white on white picture.

Trust me - - - it's awesome.

* * * Frag 6 - O.F. "C" * * *

.

.  

Last week I showed you "someone's" closet that was a pig sty.

One day this week he came to me all proud of himself, took me to his closet, opened the door and said, "I organized my closet!!!"

"Good BOY!" I said, figuratively patting him on the head.

Then I turned around and THIS is what I saw:
.
.

Somehow I think he missed "closet cleaning 101" - - - the part where it tells that cleaning your closet does NOT mean just moving the mess to the nearest couch.

Eye-yi-yi-yi!
.
.

* * * Frag 7 - O.F. "D" * * *

.
.

This, little Miss Isabella (or Skeeter as FH calls her) is the world's most diminutive house cleaner.

She dropped by on Friday morning and had us all spick in span in no time.  We believe in child labor around here.

(OK - - - before you ask - - - it was really her mama and grandmama who did all the cleaning, but where's the fun in telling you that???)
.

.* * * Frag 8 - Morning After "C" * * *

.

.  

Squirrel tracks running up the edge of the neighbor's yard shed.

They love to run across that roof and jump onto the "pipe line" of the chain link fence.

The squirrels not the neighbors.
.
.

One of the squirrels made this line of "body tracks" across the yard from the tree to the wooden divider between our patio and the neighbor's.

I sure wish I'd look out one day at just the right moment to see all that squirrelly leapin' and hoppin' goin' on!
.
.

* * * Frag 9 - O.F. "E" * * *

.
.

Hypothetically speaking, if "someone" leaves the solar patio lights lying out all winter on the stoop, those lights WILL glow each night as long as the snow isn't totally covering their itty bitty solar panels.

Theoretically.

* * * Frag 10 - Final Frag * * *

.

.  

Fisherhubby and I do love us some open-faced tuna melts.

Yes, I did think you needed to know that.

No, don't tell me cheese isn't good for me, I don't believe it, I'm from WISCONSIN.
.
.

I've never called a water fountain a "bubbler" in my life and I hate ketchup, otherwise, this list says it all!
