Welcome to this week's list of likes.... and we're focusing on clouds... LOOK UP!
our prompt this week is to share clouds and cloud watching stories
please enjoy this version of one of my favorite songs a quote "some things lost but some things gained by living every day"
consider what you like about their color, shape, what they mean for weather, amount of them (solid dark foreboding or one fluffy one in a blue sky) shape, stories about looking at them, a time when there was a dramatic cloud display. Daytime or night time around a moon or stars.
I do love clouds with sunset colors, I love this time of day when things quiet down, people are inside lit homes making dinner, as a teen I used to sit on our front steps and watch day turn to night.
Two clouds bump into each other in a basically cloudless sky... I like the blue around them, I like the shapes they form between them. It takes two to form those kind of shapes
I get nervous when I see clouds here in Colorado forming a solid wall of gray-green, listening for the ding of warning to take to the basement...
I was surprised that a poodle cloud showed up one day as I sat on the patio looking up

we all look up don't we? For something formed of water molecules, they sure are variable and fun to look at. I vaguely remember learning the names for types of clouds in junior high science but not enough to win at trivial pursuit. I just know it feels good and right to look up
as to the rest of the week... well nothing momentous. I cooked, cleaned, read, sewed, painted and watched tv shows. Sound familiar? I chatted with some friends, I ordered a ordered a no tresspassing sign in hopes it keeps the neighbors from jumping our fence into our yard despite begging them not to.

The temps have hovered around 100 and I HATE being hot. It's almost as hot here at 6000+ feet as in Arizona. Not what we expected but then lots of things have changed in the last 6 years.
The heat has drained me so I'll stop there and maybe keep a better list for next week.
Milo's Moments
hot, thank goodness my pawrents shaved me again. Oh I didn't appreciate it at the time, being only 2 weeks since last grooming not a month, but now I'm much cooler.
Mama: yeeeessss.... why do you grow hair so thick and fast my baby?
Milo: just talent Mama. Hey, Mama, why don't you paint a picture of my ball so I can hang it in my kennel?
please visit these folks to see what they liked this week, won't you?

I always loved this song and this way it is extra special...
great song and fun watching you cook! I still haven't received your email with the prompts but that is okay because I'm pretty busy these days. Scout has very thick hair too but she's not into balls the way Milo is. Have a great week!
Hot and miserable here too. But it's fall, so the cooler temps are near.
I've been doing a lot more reading lately too, especially as I recuperate from the hip replacement. Seems like I've used up my energy by mid afternoon most days.
It has definitely been HOT! Hopefully better temps coming, even tomorrow. Love the poodle cloud - great catch! Your lunch put together with leftovers sounds yummy!
What a sweet post today! Thank you!

Your sky, clouds and art are all so pretty. Milo, you are always one cool pup, shaved or not. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Hi,
Your cloud photos are beautiful. And yes
I saw the cloud poodle. Milo looks much
better after his shave. Have a great day!
Your leaf looks great. Now I want to participate in that challenge.
sticky here. there are many cloud poodles to see if you look up...sometimes a see lottsa Muppet clouds too, do you? i have always loved that song and "still don't know clouds at all,"
I love your cloud pictures. So pretty! I'm looking at the clouds in your pictures but I have to admit I love the blue of the sky. One of my favorite colors! I love your leaf too!
Beautiful clouds and Milo is adorable!
So many pretty clouds! And that is way too hot. Hope it cools down for you soon.
Clouds and a favorite song...what a fun choice for today's blog. Hope it has cooled down. I need to start trimming Percy - he had a sore which prevented his grooming from getting finished. He's off to the vet on Monday, but I think it is mostly resolved. A few more incidents of peeing in the house...elderly dogs are really a challenge!
I love looking up in the clouds and seeing all kinds of shapes and animals...lol! Have fun, Milo! Hugs to you both!
You share some real beautiful photos of clouds & sky. Take care.
