I Like Thursday #161

 Welcome to this week's list of likes...
I liked that DH took Monday off to drive along the scenic highway Peak to Peak so we could see fall color. It's gold here. The aspens turn gold. Pine and Fir remain green,

rocks remain rock colored,

It was a fun day, we three stopped in the small town of Nederland and had lunch, visited the few stores open and met with two interesting couples.
One had a lab puppy who was adorable and Milo wanted to play with. We were all sad so many restaurants do not let you sit on patio with your dog here.

One couple were at the winery tasting room. Very interesting, moved here 25 years ago. The wife used to work for Hospice and was so funny and wise. They were mourning the loss of their dog, and the husband fed milo just about all their crackers.
Wise words from the wife, after I said listening is a gift you give to others, " yes, and listening to your spouse especially after years together. You can get so used to each other's voices, you tend not to listen but it's more important the longer you're together"
very wise.
She was reluctant to say goodbye, and I often feel that way after meeting someone special. I held out my hand and she brushed it aside and hugged me, and DH! Recently we had a lovely conversation with someone and she said, " you meet someone and never see them again!" and I felt I was the only one who felt like that.

We had a snack in the rail car Buffalo Bill used to get to performances! They welcomed all of us in and we ate some tiny cinnamon doughnuts in a pullman car

Milo was very French, laying right next to the table, eating his doughnut.

I made one final harvest and low and behold, the lima beans had grown again, so I cooked them...

They tasted especially sweet and tender with not one bit of butter or salt! We split these three ways!

Loved the flowers I found at the grocery store for $5!

I liked that DH went to a scrapbooking show with me last Saturday. It was fun to have him there, and hear his jokes. He also mentioned that he doesn't know why I like stencils and stamps as I draw better... wowie, a wonderful compliment. I found some gelato paint sticks in metallic colors, a stamp, a few other tools, watched a lot of demos and talked to some really nice people.

I said, I have been to a bead show, a quilt expo, and a scrapbooking show in the last month, and the scrapbookers are by far the most open and friendly group... wonder why? DH said they might spend most of their creative time together with others, so are used to chatting while quilters often stay home with their machines, and beaders often work alone too.
Hmmmm.
Well I like to chat but I'm not into scrapbooking very much, but am happy I went!
The show was in Denver, so I said let's go to the Botanic Gardens after...
OMG it was wonderful! We strolled around in the late afternoon, had a snack

spinach, butternut squash, cauliflower, toasted chickpeas, and lemon dressing, as well as sweet potato fries

by the waterlily pool,

watching people walk by and feeling a cool breeze.

I even liked the disposable plates! We shared the meal and it was delish! Then we looked at many pretty flowers, too many to show here today but...

just one of the gorgeous flowers I got a pic of!

FinallyI like the owl pattern I chose to do this year's halloween quilt... now to do it! I'll share the pattern on Sewing Saturday, and my paintings on Paint Party Friday.

Milo's Moments

see my angel halo??

I liked a lot of stuff this week!

First off, there's a cute girl dog who always barked at me behind her fence when we walked by... well, this week her man came out and guess what? He works with my Daddy so they did people-talky-talk and got out phones and maybe Allie and I can play! She bowed at me, flipped in circles, and did everything but give me a cookie from inside her fence this time! I guess I don't need to be scared of her vicious barking... you never know a dog til you take the time to really listen to them! Or they get nicer...
I went with my peeps to look at leaves... I don't understand people, it's the trunks that carry the scent but anyway it was fun to go for a rideinnacar. I met a white lab puppy-girl at one town and we played best we could on leashes. I says, if you gets a chance to play take it. Always! And take a cookie if it's offered to you too!

hard to get a still photo of a moving pup!

I am into doing the dishes too. I like to keep an eye on my pawrents, and when they finish eating, I offer to do the dishes for them. I'm very helpful that way!

 "yep, it's clean, you can put that away now!"
