"I Like" Thursdays #24

*I Like the glass in my front door. It gives me joy every time I see it. We had a hard time choosing a door but love this one.

*I Like black labs. This is Haley, one of Cole's girlfriends. She is rough and tumble, funny and athletic. She travels in the plane her dad flies. She goes to work with him and gardens with him. She meets me at her gate when I walk by, and must grab my hand in salute. She is quirky, in her heyday she would chase a red ball, then when coming back stop to sniff each place the ball bounced!

 Then there is Zoey, a sleek rescue who is very fearful and mistrusting. She knows me, and on her good days she bolts up to me and play bows. On her fearful days she doesn't remember she likes me, and looks the other way which breaks my heart. I want to pet her and love her but she's too afraid to accept.
Next is Diva, a 3 year old full of vim and vinegar. She jumps, always jumps. She has little self control, and is excited by each whiff, every falling leaf, every noise, in equal measure, full tilt. Her person says she is much calmer now, but I've known her from a pup, and I can't see it. Still I want to pet her if I can catch her being still.

*I Like the PBS show Spy in the Wild
LOVE it! A group of scientists built robots to look like baby animals, tree trunks, termite mounds etc so they could film animal behaviors in the wild. This show is Fascinating! I can't get enough!

I have known a long time that animals are very social with feelings, love, communication abilities and integrity. A lot of people tend to discount them because they don't speak words but this show will astound you.

I loved the giraffe's that came from miles around to grieve the passing of an old strong male. I loved seeing chimpanzees who took on a pet, the elephants who picked up the robot when they "moved house" the croc who carefully carried the robot hatchling along with her own children to the safety of the water. OMG the lost wolf pup!

If your PBS channel doesn't have this show, this link will take you to it online. Watch all four episodes here

 *I Like yogurt drinks like Stoneyfield. When I want something sweet, this fills the bill. Sweet and creamy but with some good yogurt benefits as well. Yum.

* I like "starter- bread" socks

I knitted a regular pair of socks with this yarn and miracle of the loaves, there was wool left! I didn't want to waste it so I tried to knit a shortie sock, just over the ankle. Of course I ran out of leftover yarn before finishing so I went looking in my yarn stash for something to finish it with. Lo and behold, there were two more skeins of the same color yarn!

That should make another whole pair,  with some left over  I can use now to finish the shortie socks! Aha! three pairs from four skeins, Bonus pair! Score!
(I swear I am so cheap and hate waste!)

* I Like this Hawaii photojournalist take on life. https://backroadstraveller.blogspot.com/

* I Loved Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler read to me on disc. The reader was excellent at Russian accents and I laughed and laughed out loud listening. Inspired by Taming of the Shrew this modern day story kept me engaged all the way through.

*I Like seeing something in clouds... like this eagle spotted on our recent walk

 * I Like the writer's almanac, and want to share this timely quote by George Washington (read more on their post dated 2-22-17


Washington served as president for eight years. In his Farewell Address to the nation, he warned that his greatest fear for the new country was that forces would try to divide Americans and undermine the country's principles. He argued that its citizens should come together to resist those people: "Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism."

Resist indeed. 
I love America, I am the one holding her hand over her heart when the anthem plays. 
I am the one who imagines how my ancestors looked upon the statue of liberty as they immigrated. 

please visit these fine folks, keeping it positive too! (give them time to post!) 
 As always if you do an I Like post let me know and I'll include it here. Gotta keep the circle going!! If you're liking these posts remember to check back periodically to see if any more names have been added.
