To Kill a.....Fly?

Last night after wine group Marilyn Monroe decided to stay for a bit.  Things have been hectic with her upcoming nuptials, and we haven't had the chance to catch up with each other.

We were attempting to do so last night, but I became increasingly distracted. 

By a fly. 

Said fly had been making it's presence known all evening at Seersucker Central, and I was fit to be tied. 

Marilyn could tell I was frustrated, and she stopped speaking.  She became very still, and quiet.  I was creeping through the hallway into the kitchen with my Shoe-Fly Fly Swatter:

(mine is pink, of course, but you get the idea)

I was speaking in a low tone telling that fly he was MINE.  I am just about DONE with all of these bees and yellow jackets and flies and such.  I will not tolerate them trying to take over my home.  I was full of wine, and let me tell you I was just about to throw down when........


I hear Marilyn Monroe screeching! 


I cannot make out what she is saying, but when I ran into the living room this is what I saw:




Marilyn Monroe had caught that fly in her hand!!  Can you imagine?!?!?!  I would not lie to you, dear readers.  Marilyn was hopping all around and I said to her "Marilyn, are you SURE you caught that fly in your hand?"  She proclaimed that she was sure, and we went onto the front porch to have a look.  When she opened her hand....sure enough...there was the fly.

Marilyn Monroe will hence forth and ever after be called Mr. Miyagi.

End of story.

The plant growing across the front of the old farmhouse is wisteria. Flowers twice year , has the scent of vanilla pods , but also has root system that you need to be wary of .
