I Like Thursday #148

Welcome to this week's list of likes!  I love the flamingo towels I found at Joann's 75% off! Lookie at the fringe ball trim!
I like my fushias on the back porch

 and the butterflies visiting my hanging baskets

It's been so hot, this bunny hopped into the shadows to rest on the driveway, while a certain poodle watched.

"Oh, nothing, just lying around in the shade!"

I liked finishing my patriotic table runner (pattern source stitchin' therapy)

and decided to add on some little gold sequin stars!

I liked that this little fledgling who couldn't fly, found a way to hop to the shade, and Mama finally responded to his loud chirps with a fat worm she pushed into his little mouth. I'm so glad he wasn't forsaken!

I like the new PUR water system we got... the filter works even better than the britta, it pours better with no drips, and tastes a bit better. We kept the Britta for coffee and tea water, and keep the PUR in the fridge because cold water just tastes better in this heat.

I love the scent of this tree... like gardenias. I smell it in the heat while we're out walking, so I want to plant one so the wind will blow across it toward us on the back porch.

anyone know what it is?

I liked these flowers seen at the garden center

 

... "Mexican Hats" but forgot to buy them!
I like that little beans are growing in the veg garden. Tomatoes, peppers, zucchini and eggplant still just flowers. I am not interested in artificially inseminating them so we'll see if there are enough pollinators to do the job. Since it rains daily here, there are certainly enough bugs around.
Would someone please train the mosquitoes to do the job, since all they do is pester us?

I like painting daily and doing the paint party Friday posts

I like the latest novel, third in Vicky Gilbert's series, Past Due for Murder

I am enjoying videos on painting, beading, and the stonehenge series from BBC (all mentioned in Monday's post) I'll try to find the one I saw comparing 10 paint brands and put it in the post tomorrow.

I like that our neighborhood has a mystery murder night planned for Sept. and that we're invited to a party tonight by one of the coffee people! It's so important to create a support network of friends near one's home.

One of the guys and I found out yesterday that we were both in marching band, and in theater. Fun!

I liked painting from stamps. I'll describe the process tomorrow but it's really an easy way to create art for non sketchers. I liked writing a new story for Sunday's Stories, I haven't done that in a bit.

I like putting a fresh white tablecloth on the kitchen table to make it seem cleaner!

Milo's moments

poodle in profile (see his ring toys?)

I like my toys. I especially like my ring toys now that I've skint the yellow skin off. I keep the three of them together. Sometimes one of them rolls off the porch into the yard, so it has to be brought back. I keep close watch over them, take them for walks, and last night insisted on bringing one to bed with me. I guess they are my pets, or children.


(LeeAnna here... I guess that makes them my grand-toys)

got my paw on one of them and my eyes on the othe

 This week Mama put one on the porch table, and I had to stand guard watching it til she gave it back. I could have been blown off that table in our big winds!!! My little baby! They are my babies and must be watched at all times except when I nap in my chair or eat. 

please visit these people keeping an I Like list too! There's always something during the week to like!
remember to let me know in comments or emails if you did an I Like post too this week!
