Good Morning All!

I hope you all had a wondermous weekend! Ours of course made LOTS brighter by Green Bays win over Kansas City! WOW. (Not a good enough word to describe it)... But close enough...

That I should recall anything else from yesterday would be a minor miracle of sorts... But I do. I recall that I had to send little CaseyFace down to the water pit to shut off the outside water to the milkhouse. Poor kid; and to pull the hose down too. Thank you, Casey! Our weather is about to change, (special thanks to Canada and its ability to share its freezie types of weather)...

From my forecast page... Our high of 43° will only "feel like" 33°. Not impressed. And even LESS impressed that they have used the "S" word so damned early in the season.

A WIND ADVISORY IS NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON TUESDAY. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND INCREASE QUICKLY THIS MORNING. SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH ARE EXPECTED. THE STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY MORNING...AND THEN SHOULD DIMINISH TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THE STRONGEST GUSTS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH TONIGHT...WHEN SOME GUSTS AROUND 45 MPH ARE POSSIBLE.

Today: Windy with a few rain or snow showers developing this afternoon. High 44F. Winds WNW at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of precip 30%. Winds could occasionally gust over 50 mph.
Tonight: Windy. Snow flurries and a few snow showers throughout the night. Low 33F. Winds WNW at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of snow 30%.

Winds will shift to the West and increase sharply. Wind speeds will average 25 to 40mph, and at times gust to around 50mph.

Dirty buggars... Glad though that we got Miss Millys kennel winterized yesterday too. Her insulated house, now tucked in the most sheltered corner; and all full of new red cedar shavings. Her kennel, spotless... (for now). hehehe

And life goes on... Back to my mischievous flower friend..

***Once again, I must reiterate, according to my highly scientific poll from yesterday; and again, being that this is America, and the majority rules, (EXCEPT in an election); you have told me that you await to hear how the now troublesome flower has done after its "breaking and entering" offense.

.

It got in!!!
(Apparently to be in search of my car keys).

.

And being the smart little flower that it was, it went to all the places that I most frequent...

.

Very funny!
(By the way, it's a smart~aleck too).

.

Still in "nag" mode, it told me to "Scrub the toilet out" too!

.

And from there, to the kitchen table...

.

Usually one CAN find car keys there...
But no luck, (just a messy table today).

So it ordered me to "clean off the table!"

.

Then it thought maybe near to the telephone!

.

Nowhere near there though...

"Dust the danged telephone off already!"

..

And the flower got SO mad...
And went to the next place it thought of.

.

Not in the back entrance either!
(But it did tell me to scrub back there too)...

.

.

And told me to "Get these in the fridge!"

.

Nope no keys near the sign either.

More orders to "Dust it off!"

.

No keys anywhere in the entrance!
hehehe ~Love y'all...

.

.

Thinks (erroneously) maybe he would find them upstairs

No.
It used up a ton of energy going up/down the steps too.

And told me to "Vacuum up there"...

.

And then finally; a brainstorm!!!

.

.

But NO (car) KEYS!

.

Sad, mad, and perplexed; it wanted transportation,
and needed it badly too
(Trying to get the heck out of Dodge before the weather changed).

So back outdoors it went...

Looking for a fast ride...

.

Not fast enough, nor far enough...

.

It couldn't possibly navigate the wires fast enough...

(Besides, it would never be able to take its whole family along).

.

.It considered hitching a ride with the bird.
But quickly discovered it was driftwood.

..

Still frantically searching...

.
It finally came upon the one thing that made its stamens (and pistel stand up), light up, and take notice!

.

.

.

Secure transportation for ALL!

.

.

My buddy/helpmate is gone now;
along with its entire family too!

And I have seen neither the family, nor the wagon, since.

.

NOTE: I would have finished with "The End" but since they were all last seen heading southward, I am expecting that maybe this 'wanted' flower family will end up in your neck of the woods at some point.
Please let me know if they appear.
The Brown County Sheriff Department has issued an APB, nationwide, to search for the flower wanted in connection with the B~&~E at my house.

Have a good one.
(I am off to scrub, and dust, and clean, and vacuum... and, and, AND)...

Love to all!
Have a wunnaful Monday!!!

XOXO
Anne

Good Morning Once More!

First and foremost, GO PACKERS!!!!

I hope that you have all enjoyed your extra hour of sleep tonight. Odd this fall, with respect to that time change. I have a calendar here that claims it was to be last weekend... And yet, having gone to check it all out for a bit of trivia, I found the article that said it had been moved to November. >CLICK HERE<

What's the point of it all anyway?
My own thoughts would be to "Spring Ahead" and leave it alone.

Before I continue with the (mis)adventures of my newfound friend, I need to tell you how WEIRD it is to wake up with a dogs snout in my right ear... Turning a bit, the snout then impacted itself upon my closed right eye. All that because she wanted to let me know that Miss Casey had left the skin of her twice~baked potato on a dish in the living room. (No, it didn't work; the skin did not become Punkins midnight snack)... Poor thing. hehehe
It must have been killing her! She does not help herself, or "take" anything... (Only if it's on the floor and past that 5~second rule)...

.

According to my highly scientific poll from yesterday; and being that this is America, and the majority rules, (except in an election ?); you have told me that you await to hear how the now angered flower has dealt with its fury...

Last I remember, my friend and co worker had gotten mad about NOT being able to break into the old pumphouse...

.

Yup, there it is...

.

That negative emotion started a bit slow;

and actually began with simple nagging...

(Even though I know it was trying to break in through the window in the dining room),

.

And then it screamed at me...
"Take the window AC out already!
It's way past time to get this done!"
(Guess the darned thing didn't realize about my foot)...

.

"Replace your "FAITH" on the ornate cross!"
(Clearly this had nothing to do with my foot, so no excuses)...

.

"Mulch your baby trees!"
(Please refer to my foot)...

.

"Throw some Christmas lights on a pine tree this year!"
(I don't know, I kinda liked the crabapple tree lit up LAST year)...

.

"Fill your birdfeeder, the birdies are starving!"
???

.

"Fill this side too!"

.

.

On and on it went!

Nag... NAG... NAG!...

.

"Clean up your leaves!"

.

"Trim the grass around the old stumps!"

And so it went ~Until I finally hollered back at it...

Off it ran, being all talk and no action...

Tried breaking in to the old shed...

.

Even madder than before! ~as it too was locked up!
hehehe

.

Running across the yard, (and helped by the 20~30 mph winds),

it came to rest upon a baby oak...

.

Being a bit of a Tasmanian Devil, it scattered the leaves.

.

Finding no solace in disturbing those leaves, it attacked my mums!

.

Scattering the browned petals all about...

.

And off to scatter a bit of Joe Pye Weed seeds too!

.

(for which my monarchs will be eternally grateful)!

.

Seeing that it didn't anger me, it went for Caseys car...

.

And could not get through the windshield!

.

It then headed to MY car!

.

.

SUCCESS!

.

WHAT?!?!?!

.

.

(It got in)!!!

.

.

...But NO keys!

.

So he had to break into the door!

.

.

And you DON'T want to know what kind of damage it did...
Or DO you?

Later then...on the INside.
And fueled once more by its emotions!

(But you will have to wait til later to find out what happened then).

After all, 'Breaking and Entering' IS a crime!!!

hehehe

.

Hope you are still enjoying your weekend, WHERE EVER you are!

XOXO

Good Morning!!!

Oooooh, a whole 32° as I write...
Now, is that 32° freezing, or is it thawing?
Or is it freezing in the Autumn, and thawing in the Springtime?
(And yes, I am serious kids... I just never could figure that one out)!

I know that in Fall, we do not want it to be thirty~two degrees... and yet, all Winter long, we look forward to that magical temp...
Go figure...

I had a friend to help me do the preps for winter within the flower bed. The darned thing followed me all over! Kinda spooky, but a BIG help too!

.

.

First it grabbed the rake to help me level the ground before it freezes.

.

.

.

Then to help me move a few rocks...

.

.

W

Working up a sweat, the poor thing tried to find water...

.

DRY!!!

.

And none to be found here either...

.

.

So it sucked the old birdbath dry...

.

.

So then, thirst quenched, it is time to get back to work.

.

It helped me harvest the last of the garden...

.

.

We cleaned the cover for the sandbox...

.

.

And I had help to pick a few last apples too

.

.

And it helped me clean out the birdbox too

.

.

or two...

.

.

It helped me keep the dogs in line too...

First Punk...

.

.

Then even her Mama~Milly!!!

.

.

Miss~Mama~Milly didn't mind either...
(Until it tried to break into her kennel)...

.

.

And then it succeeded in breaking in her house!

.

.

But quick thinking and a quick jump
to the back wall of her kennel saved its life...

.

.

And from there, another jump to the pumphouse

.

hehehe
But the window was locked,
...and my friend got REALLY mad.

.

And all that anger is what fueled its crime spree.

(But you will have to wait til later to find out what happened then).

.

I must get busy... (Back to freezing or thawing or whatever it's doing)!

Life in Flintville goes on.
And all is well with our world...

And I hope all is well with yours too!

XOXO
Anne
