I Like #81

Welcome to this week's list of likes!
I like the pretty Spring colors on Hershey's Kisses
 
I'm reading this book in the molly Murphy series by Rhys Bowen. Molly is a spunky Irish immigrant to America who becomes a private investigator. Turn of last century NY setting. It's so much fun to not only read a mystery I can't figure out til the end, plus read about a woman who stands her ground amid the standards of the day. I just realized there are several more written since this, so I get to keep reading! I love her character and the setting. 

I did a post earlier on the big snow storm we had ( HERE) but I liked how the streets melted quickly and something like ice caves/sculptures/hoodoos were formed in the melting... 

Not man made lumps, but nature made from melting and shadows...

this looked like a stop motion splash! It is ice lace created from the odd melting. I felt I was walking in a sculpture garden the day after the storm! (Milo, unimpressed, often peed on them)

I'm not used to Aspen trees, and found the red buds to be very pretty, a lot like 4 beads per stem end.
I also like the red growth on these for spring. We can use color around here!

can you just see the red tips on all branches?? How about that sky? The cloud show is always amazing here. Of course the evergreens were just supporting the heavy snow as it melted

Like a postcard, isn't it?
I like birds, and seem to be seeing, and hearing more of them this week. This little fellow caught our ears before it caught our eyes... milo's and mine...

He was unconcerned with us, as he sang his invitation to others...

I have never heard his song before, so Milo and I stopped to observe. I feared he'd fly away but nope.
Each tweet opened his mouth and tilted his tail up! I was lucky enough to catch him mid tweet!
Lovely little, and thank you for being brave enough to sing for us.
He looks like the one I might stencil on my background...

I worked on my V-quilt this week, and will show it later, as well as cut out a tree trunk from a purple batik for my watercolor quilt. It feels good to work on art again. Interpreting what I see around me. Using something another person might throw away to create my own art feels good.

I am in love with this woman's writing...
read this pet post and see if you don't agree...

I sometimes like to look at my blog stats, to see what people have read. I am under no delusion that those stats are all correct but someone read one of my old posts and I re read it and... well.... it was just lots of fun!

Are we just our latest posts? No, there is gold in them thar hills!
Please read this one from Lake Placid about lessons quilters can learn from Ice Skaters... we are all connected!

Milo's Moment this week
A big bark-out to my peeps out there! I always have fun and likes. The recent snow was fun to play in and eat. (of course I do urp-up after eating it but still) It also brings up a lot of smells... I took advantage of Mama's patience (as if) this week...

 to stop and smell the, well, er, PEE-Mail. I am sort of nervous of people who don't move while sitting on the ground, so I walked quickly past this person...

But I stopped in my pawprints to watch a robin walking around on the ground, some people across the street, a bag blowing by, two enormous shepherd dogs who walked on by, and some pigeons on a roof top. I mean, I'm young, and all this is new to me. Daddy and Mama just want to keep walking so they must be missing the fun.
Not me!

I take advantage of all the walk has to offer! I love to see an open park,'cause I want to run. A lot!
I start biting at the leash if I want to run around, and sometimes my peeps get the picture.I run back and forth from one to the other, chasing a toy I bring along...

This one is all busted up but nice and squishy in my BIG POODLE TEETH, and I love to chew as I walk... don't you?

I also like to flop down after a running session, before walking home. Sometimes, like this weekend, we see another dog with his family, and I play with them. It happened a lot this week, and I just love to play with dogs. They seem to be made of sterner stuff than humans, and don't mind a little nip now and then, heh heh. I says, be comfy! Wherever life takes you!

Now, SIT and visit these people my Mama likes, who also wrote like posts this week!
