Phil's Worries

Hubby is liphting weights downstairs.

 He's making an awphul lot oph grunting noises.

Phil wonders iph he should go downstairs and check on Hubby.

Phloral Predictions

These gold phlowers popped up phrom seeds this summer, so Phil didn't know what he was going to get when he planted them. They coordinate well with the purple phlowers, making phor a good combination for a Vikings phootball phan.

Phil wonders iph this phortuitous phloral combination means that the Vikings will have a winning season. Always the optimist, that bird.

Phoreman Phil

Phil played phoreman to the crew working here yesterday to take down the swing set and play house.

 It was quite the operation.

And it's still not done today. This could take a phew more days.

Ice Bucket Challenge - Prooph oph Payment

To anyone out there wishing to issue the ice bucket challenge (ahem, Matthew), we live in a state with brutal winters. We take the ice bucket challenge every time we step outside the door phor about six months oph the year. Phil's phragile pheathers can't take icy water.

 

We're paying up instead. That will go a lot phurther in putting an end to ALS. Perhaps we should just send the buckets oph water over to drought-stricken Caliphornia instead oph pouring them over pheasants' heads.

Weepy Tree

Our tree seems to have developed amber stalactites.

 Lots oph them.

Should we be worried?

Big Brother

Phil and Wiphey ate Phrosted Mini Wheats phor breakphast today.

 While they ate, an ad phor Phrosted Mini Wheats popped up on the computer.

Phil wonders just how much the NSA knows about us.

Which Way the Wind Blows

Hubby posted Phil's new phriend out in the phront yard today.

 He dug a hole phirst.

 Then he had to put the dirt back.

Phil thinks this pheasant is awphully phunny-looking, but he's good at telling Phil which way the wind blows.

One is Enouph

Phil is thoroughly conphused. The calendar says it's Thursday, but this is on ESPN tonight.

Phil phigures that ESPN must be conphused instead. Who would want more than one Monday in a week?

Werewolph

Phil has spent most oph the evening howling at the super moon.

 

 

Well, iph you can call the noise pheasants make howling. It's more oph a sad warble.

When Creature Comphorts Phail

The power is out. Well, now what?

 

Phil can't watch TV.

The Internet doesn't work.

The temperature is going up in here.

And Phil phears phor the saphety oph the new phood Wiphey just brought home phrom the store.

That was a long couple oph hours! Phil has clearly become a creature oph comphort.



The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Siding

Why is it that Phil can't get grass seed to germinate in the bald spot here...

 

...but it will grow out oph the siding?

 

Phun with Phurry Ones

Hubby is having a little snack oph cheese. Phil and Duke would like to help him eat it but cheese isn't good phor pheathered and phurry ones.

How do you trick a phurry one to believe he's eating cheese?

 

De-clutter

Phil is tired oph the clutter taking over this drawer.

 And the clutter taking over this tray.

 And the mess oph recipes Hubby and Wiphey have been collecting.

 This is going to be quite the operation to de-clutter and organize.

 One would think that with all the cookbooks she has that Wiphey would be a good cook.

One would be wrong. But at least she's organized.

Stop Time

Wiphey won't let Phil change the calendar over to August.

 

 

She might be a bit in denial that a new school year will start up again this month.
