I Like Thursday #154

Welcome to this week's list of likes! I like porch sitting in the summer, with a cold glass of tea and a good book. I'm reading the diary of Frances Burney  written in 1780's. Fascinating account of living at the English court with (mad) King George and Queen Charlotte.

We went to an outdoor quilt show in Lyons CO and saw some mighty fine quilts... til it started pouring rain, then I went into the shop to "look around" lol.

This week's cow is courtesy of Barbara Beasley's exhibit upstairs. Terrific detail work done in fabric.

We had lunch at a cafe while listening to live music, and rain pattering on a plastic roof. This sign (unattended cars will be painted by local elementary school kids) made me chuckle. We made sure to move it before looking around the little town.

We'll have to go here next time!

I loved this tree but don't know what variety it is, do you?

wonder what the story was here? Cute!

The town is known for it's sandstone. I liked the patchwork sidewalks.

I am almost finished with my Christmas hexie table runner... I have decided to applique it to this center, and leave the edges hexie shaped after quilting with gold thread. The top fabrics were runner's up.

Love using my harvest of vege in dinners. We have been picking the small purple, and small white eggplants and even got a zucchini (fairly small too). We used turkey sausage after removing the pork casings, and added in onions, peppers, garlic, and tomatoes. Simmer. Make an alfredo sauce for just before serving on pasta or brown rice.

We were out for an evening walk, and passed a neighbor who has a garden. The husband was watering it with a hose, and asked if we were hot... LOL
then he offered for us to take the peaches once they are ripe, growing along his fence line.
It was a good sharing moment.

I am sketching and painting each day, and will show all of the pretties tomorrow on Paint Party Friday. I'll show whatever I was able to sew on Sewing Saturday.

and I loved this version of say a little prayer

In fact, while it was playing one morning, I looked over at DH in the kitchen, doing everyday things to get ready for work,.... and smiled.
He smiled too.....so we danced.
eventually Milo came over wagging his tail, and stood between us as we danced.
We are a wee family of three and it's good.
Milo's Moments

I like napping in front of an open screen door, with light on me! I can hear all the critters, able to leap up with no notice, to bark and warn Mama!
I like my new indestructible chicken the pawrents came home with...

Before and after

It is indestructible! I take at least a week to chew something off, and even when it's all chewed up like the one on the right, it's the nightime go-to toy of choice to get daddy to chase me around the coffee table for, heh heh. I'm always the faster one! If he turns around, so do I so he's always behind me. If he slows down to be in front I slow down more so he catches up. I could go to the Olympics with this skill!

I almost chewed the skin off my latest ring toy, Mama laughs and calls me foo-man-chew (or something that sounds like that) when I carry it around.

I liked going with my peeps to the mountains last weekend. At the table I liked Daddy to hand feed me my kibble, one at a time, not like a dog with his face in the bowl! And here's a hint to all you nervous dogs, if you get your pawrent to do that, you know they won't leave while you're face down in a bowl!

Now, sit! Stay! Please leave a comment so the Mama is happy, and visit her friends who kept lists of likes too!
