I liked the cloud's intense color and highlights on our sunset walk this week. It looks like a painting to me.
This statue for the garden made me happy this weekend
BTW, I had a miracle moment this week when Milo urped up a rock he swallowed on Friday night. We were visiting with our neighbor when he grabbed another rock. I tried to get it out of his mouth but he rolled over and swallowed it. We looked for it hoping he hadn't and waited a couple days watching for signs of distress. Then on a walk, out it came, thank God! What a blessing.
I've tried to stop him from picking them up, when I see it I pull them out of his mouth, but I just don't know short of electo-shock therapy how to stop him.
Wild right?
Then there were the guardians...
and the peaceful
Clay, rock, and artistic!
enormous blooms
I liked learning to fold a towel into a sea turtle at a neighbor's house while our dogs played.
She was highly distracted and having a hard time paying attention to the video so I had her teach me.
Mine is on the left, and the mom said she saw monkeys from folded towels too...
I liked sharing the moment with them while Milo played.
We also went to some neighborhood yard sales and met the most astounding people! From the man from Louisiana playing cajun music to the massage therapist I want to become friends with (when we were leaving I said I will need your number so we can become best friends and she said, but of course! And got her card, when I found out she was a therapist! ) to the two couples who moved in next to each other when the houses were built, to the woman who used to juggle at the Renaissance Festival.
Look at the antique sewing chair I found, but didn't purchase
Milo's Moments
I like yard sales too.... I met lots of people and dogs, and ate more than a few chips dropped on the ground!
It's nice to just be with friends even if you aren't doing a lot, right?
Mama's friends are also writing "I Like" posts, wanna see?

I enjoyed your post. It’s slmost like you had s video camera on ad I felt like I was with you. That chair is quite amazing. Thsnks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning!
ReplyDeleteSo many great finds at the garden center! Those cobra hoses - I've never seen or heard of them but very cobra-ish! Oh Milo, you can't EAT the stones. Goodness, thank heavens that one came back out. Those statues remind me of Dominic up on his knees - we call him a meerkat when he does that. Gotta love yard sales!! Happy Thursday! ~smile~ Roseanne
I would spend hours at that garden center (not in summer, unfortunately). Those cobra hoses and a red fish? Milo is so lucky to have you as his mom! I have never heard of a sewing chair like that. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea with a rock spiral... I will search some cool stones when we visit the beach ;O)
ReplyDeleteMy husband is afraid to let me loose in the garden center. I love the statues you saw! Scout is sorta over the rock thing. I had a bunch of balls from all our dogs and that is her new obsession--especially since she isn't allowed to bring them in the house. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThat rock sculpture is nifty and the antique sewing chair is awesome. I've never seen anything like that. So cool!
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I lived closer...I could meet you face to face AND I would have purchased that chair! No more eating rocks, Mr Milo!
ReplyDeleteThat garden center looked like FUN. I lived close to a huge one in Minneapolis (40+ yrs ago)and like to go walk through just to look. I have a brown thumb when it comes to plants, but I really do enjoy flowers.
ReplyDeleteThe antique chair is a reminder of how clever people used to be before machines took over our lives.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun at the garden center! I liked all the statues you showed. I've been wanting a gnome for my garden, but can't find one that doesn't look creepy, lol! The one you photographed looked pretty neat, though!
ReplyDeleteGarden centers are lots of fun to browse around in. Tell that Milo we sent a howdy! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteOh that sewing chair! I bet it was hard to leave it there. What a fun week.
ReplyDeleteSo many great finds!
ReplyDeleteI love all of these, especially those stone spirals. So very cool!
ReplyDeleteI love those towel animals! So cute! Thanks for linking up today!
ReplyDeleteI love garden art, but not the prices. Even the plants have gotten too expensive. That dahlia is gorgeous, such a vibrant color. I worried that Milo might swallow a stone. Glad he urped it up. I avoid yard sales because I just don't need more stuff. Have a good weekend.

Oh, I love that sewing chair and the rock spiral is amazing. Such a nice way to get to know the neighbors. Garden centers are my downfall.. We lost our beloved Border Collie from swallowing a rock. We almost had him trained with a ball, too. I worry about Milo! Cute towel animals!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are meeting nice people - life is so much better with friends!!! We have been frequenting thrift stores, yard sales, antique stores, you name it - the key is to know what you are looking for and not let yourself get distracted into purchasing stuff for stuff's sake!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely neighborhood. Oh I like the rock spiral. Driving up to the middle of nowhere there were piles of rocks set along the bluff it was fun, and I thought someone stopped, sat for a while on that overlook, and decided that rocks needed to form a cairn.
ReplyDeleteYou have the knack for photographing the interesting things around you. Love those flowers. My friend's dog use to do that. She would put a harness (?) around his mouth so he couldn't during walks.
ReplyDelete...you sure found some neat stuff, love those spiral stone sculptures! Thanks for sharing, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGarden centers are fun places, so much to see. I must confess I'm not a fan of (Buddha) statues but atleast that one has a cute smile. - That sewing chair was cool and the dogs look to be having a grand time. Oh my eating rocks...not good at all. Our cats like eating rubber bands, also not goo.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Milo eating rocks! Hard to keep him away from them I am sure. He is so cute! Loved the market and the yard sale...especially that pretty dahlia! Great post. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou're such a prolific photographer, my dear Lady L., that I have to choose what I say, because there aren't enough words for all of it!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I looked up the difference between Budha and Buddha, and learned something new (which we should all do, every day), https://www.thebluebudha.com.au/for-those-of-you-who-wonder-budha-vs-buddha/
First: I love your Baby Buddha photo. Second: you'd better lock up the rocks so Milo doesn't eat any more. Our little dog is omnivorous and is forever scaring me with the things she eats. Third, I think that antique sewing chair certainly deserves a good home. Next: I'm glad Milo has a new playmate, and last but not least, I hope you are well.

Love those rock spirals and the turtle towels!!
ReplyDeleteYard sales and garden centers...always a good way to spend some spare time!
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a good garden centre!
ReplyDeleteIt seems Milo has a thing for rocks. I can see that would be scary. Perhaps he’ll grow out of it. Gosh isn’t that sewing chair the neatest thing! Yard sales are the best just because you do get to chat with folks. And everyone has their story. Grist for the writing mill, LeeAnna.
ReplyDeleteso many fascinating things -
ReplyDeletedo you recall the price on the antique sewing chair ??is this in DC??I love how much fun milo has
ReplyDeleteI love the patchwork quilt . It reminds me of the quilts my granny used to make.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day you had. How fun. Love the pups at the end. A huge Awww.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week. ♥
