I Like Thursday # 214

I Like fall breakfasts!

 Welcome to this week's list of likes... let's jump right in shall we?

2)  Lovely music to listen to here while reading

traditional halloween dishes!

 useful and fun

3)  I liked bringing out the fall kitchen towels this week, and the fall dishes too. The temps may remain in the 80's and the smoke persist in giving us nosebleeds but I get to eat from something fun.

 

morning coffee!

Fine dining

 

4)  I fondly remember apple cider donuts eaten in the car while driving through New England each year, so we ordered some cider

5)  cooking with apple cider

and I tried making apple cider muffins with apple pieces. They came out dry so I'm not even passing on the recipe... I'm sure you can find one that's better.   Oh don't think being dry stopped us from eating them... we find heating them and putting on peanut butter improves the taste!

gardening

 

6))  the blue flower is finally flowering...we purchased two more mums

and deadheaded these

painting

just trying some calligraphy lesson from Start your Art

7)   I steadfastly slogged through my online course this week, often stopping in the middle of a video lesson. I did like one speaker however, who talked about play and intuition in creation. Another one spoke of the value of story boards which I think might come in useful in art quilting. More on Friday's paint post.

sewing

 

I liked finishing the quilting on this year's Halloween quilt

8)  I quilted the Halloween piece for this year... not making one interpreting masks but that might have been timely, no? Masks come in many forms... more on the quilt on Saturday's sewing round up, but I enjoyed quilting it, while listening to the book this week. 

reading

 

9)  This is the big Like this week, my audio book by Eliz. Gilbert City of Girls. Please listen on audio, the reader is AWESOMELY entertaining. The story is so clever about a young woman of means who moves from conservative life with parents to her aunt's in NYC and learns about life and theater.  

I finished my ebook, started another and the library took it back! I'm on the holds list....luckily another hold came through to read in the meantime!

watching

we watched an awful movie (The big wedding) with terrific award winning actors... go figure... we watched so you don't have to. 

10)  dancing with the stars.... a bit lackluster this time but still I enjoy watching dance. 

10.5)  Amazing Race is returning soon

funniest video

11)  I showed the funniest video  on Tuesday about a husky in fall leaves... Here it is!

REALLY fun!

 

 

12)  How persistent are you? Watch  this physicist bird watcher try to build structures to baffle the squirrel both of which are very persistent!

Love

13) I felt a surge of love for Milo this week, I always love him but for some reason he has been my saving grace this week. I am increasingly ( I thought I had reached the pinnacle but no) worried for the lack of uniting leadership in my country and fall into deep depressions. My puppy seems to sense the worst of it and come quietly lean against my leg, allowing the tears to fall on his soft hair, allowing human hugs, and looking into my eyes with connection. I felt a surge of love for Milo this week...

Milo's Moments

 I liked the surprise gift I found this week!

Mama: well you weren't supposed to find it, on the top of the bathroom counter

Milo: I'm a super good finder mama.... I followed Daddy into the room where he washes his face, and this was up high, and called to me!!! 

Mama: that was for later, I took it in to cut the tag off and thought there was no way you'd notice something on the bathroom counter

 Milo: I'm just that good Mama! I LOVE (love...obsessed, tomato tomah-to) I ran immediately down to show Mama what I had, but did not let her get close since she's been known to take these from me

Mama: I also give them to you. You do get obsessed with these and want to take them on walks, carry them around, take them to bed. 

Milo: Ain't life grand?? Just when a poodle is bored almost to death, a ring toy appears! I hope all of you have a world full of your own ring toys! 

see my halo???
