I LIke Thursday #144

at Denver's Botanical Gardens

Welcome to this week's list of "likes"

I like a fresh flower bouquet and loved the mix of purple Iris and yellow carnations.

The Iris are in bloom at the botanic gardens right now. So many gorgeous colors.

I liked that my friend Pat sent pics of her iris and then I painted them. Fun! It's challenging to capture the essence of a flower especially white sections. The  painting colors are more delicate in person.

I liked getting the orange flower girl ready to be quilted, so she will be done soon. I painted some flower girls in all the scrap colors so I hope to make them in fabric soon. Pics tomorrow!

 I Love the book The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. One of our library staff recommended it. The story line is intriguing and the writing lyrical.

I like the sun. It has rained daily for weeks here, not all day but sometime during the day.


I like finally being able to plant the vegetables... I think, I HOPE there is no more snow this summer!

We got these raised bed boxes from Lowes... they have a platform in them, and you add water via the tube and it wicks up to keep the vege hydrated. This box holds a white eggplant, a ichiban eggplant, lima beans and bush beans. I like the red wire trellis thaat folds around three sides of the box. The beans are already holding onto it. We also planted a zucchini (in the pot there) and in the other box, a tomato, basil, parsley, and bell pepper. We'll see how it goes.

I like fresh vegetables!

And the little individual servings of tapioca pudding, for dessert.

a different black and white cow!

I like cows... contestants on the Amazing Race this week had to decorate a real cow with flowers and lead her along a path.
lucky them!
I like sharing a book with my husband, reading aloud on the back porch after work. 

Milo's Moments

what!
Mama is calling me a first responder lately. I have to be first. First on a walk, first to get to a friend's house, first one to catch the toy, first one to respond when another dog barks, first one always.
That's what I want.... but lately Mama is making me wait. Wait to go outside, wait til she wrenches my toy out of my mouth, wait to get my leash on.
I hate wait.
I am a first responder  why can't she get that ?

Now sit! Stay! visit Mama's friends keeping it paw-sitive this week!
