I Like Thursdays #95

Welcome to this week's list of likes!
Home is where the COWS are! lol
Let's start with the closing, leaving the rental and getting the deposit back, moving for the second time in 6 months, all being done! Yea!

Our agent gave us these flowers and a gift card at the walk thru. I love the colors and that most of them are still alive at ten days!

how they look amid boxes

Note the bags of scraps next to the flowers... given me by Mary in Boulder who came for a visit! And brought fabric along with this...

beautiful planter for the back porch! She also gave us some patio lights they no longer needed, and I like lights.

My sweet friend Nancy (https://pugmomquilts)    has sent me two moving presents, a set of vintage poodle embroidered towels and a set of the coolest flamingo fabrics! That made moving much better, and I love her for thinking of me and acting on it! If I could put my hands on them I'd show you!

Since one of our wicker chairs broke, we went to pier 1 who had a sale going on the weather resistant bright chair in turquoise... yum...

 We had two like this, one in dark blue and one in red that are now living on the front porch. We tend to sit on the front porch while having morning coffee as it's in the shade, and sit on the back porch in late afternoon as it's more in shade.

speaking of which, it's been hovering around 100 F here, so we cling to any scrap of shade. Here we are in the shade of a sweet blooming linden tree

I would say it rivals orange blossoms for scent, and night blooming jasmine... I like them all!
I like bright sunny days, and blue skies, but now I'm brown as can be despite using sunscreen and am tired of the unrelenting blistering sun. Everyone I talk to says it used to be nice and cool this time of year, but the climate has changed radically for the hotter all year. 

Not what one thinks of for Colorado, right? but true... they all are tired of less snow and hot temps.

so we love the shade given by live trees. Our home here is older than the rental, so the trees here have had about 10 more years of growth and are able to shade some sidewalks and provide oxygen! Thank you! Our yard is very, VERY sunny though. I'm considering planting some more trees.

We've been exploring the neighborhood on foot, and learning the layout. I spied this little log train on one walk, so cute.
More later, when I start to come to my senses...
I do not like moving, but little by little the doors closed behind us, causing us to keep going.

 
 We sold our MD home at a loss, we were forced out of the rental after coming to love the layout and neighbors, we hired the second set of movers, this time to take our possessions to this house, and gave back the keys to the rental, we did change-of-address forms for the 2nd time. We are so. very. tired.

MIlo's Moments

For Barking out loud, I'm tired too! I had 5 men come into the house last Wednesday and take ALL OUR STUFF including my crate! I liked them, I even played with them, but it was noisy and scary and Mama was nervous too. 
The day before I helped Daddy pack up yard stuff...

Mostly I helped tear up the paper after he wrapped the bird bath... 

It was a big job but everybody was so busy running around, they hardly noticed how hard I was working.

 

I like my big new yard but the three barking snapping doggies at our back fence scare me.
Well, they did but now I just stand back and watch them throw themselves at the fence, out of snout reach.
Get used to me dudes! I'm the new poodle in town!
Lookie here, Mama moved my crate to a cozy place and I can get in whenever I need peace! 

My toys are here, and no worries! I'll have the place smelling like me in a flash!

Milo had to share this with you... we're all howling with laughter around here!
