I Like Thursday # 394

 

Another week, another list of likes! let's start with the  stay at home round robin from last year... funny that I like it more now than I did when I finished last year. I love the bunnies, and the 3-d pinwheels, and the colors...in the family room next to the bunnies on the mantel, ( made them 3 years ago)

hand stitched and embroidered felted bunnies!

Fine Dining

I am still trying to find a recipe for something that that tastes orange... this time I got a recipe from my Tampa cookbook, Gasparilla cook book

the Gasparilla Cook Book

I made a half recipe added in orange juice, orange peel, and orange extract for insurance. 

I rolled the dough in orange sparkling sugar, for fun and for Easter colors. Did they have orange flavor? no. nada. none. 

we did make the hawaiian bread again and it is OUTSTANDING! Bananas, coconut and pineapple in a quick bread, I gave that recipe somewhere.... a modern cook used a 1960 recipe and so did I

I love this springy rug I got at amazon

I want several more, to spring up the rest of the space

listening to audio books 

continuing the series about an antiques magazine writer who gets embroiled in murder mysteries

listening on youtube...

 I wish I could study voice with this woman. JOY personified .... a 10 year old sings Aretha in a car

TV

 quilt making

I've made a big push to finish this year's stay at home round robin quilt, and the project quilting piece this week. Tied to the machine I'm actually tired of sewing at the moment. 

it's now all quilted ready to share tomorrow!

our Prompt this week

What Spring creatures might you see in the wild where you live right now?

We are seeing robins and small creatures like squirrels. We should be seeing bunnies soon. There is a family of raccoons we see all summer, enormous, they walk in a line across the street, thru the neighbor's yard to the golf course

 and owls, hawks, coyote... and I saw a gull fly by Wed.... what? we are a good stretch from the ocean

 

Weirdo weather

I enjoyed the snow we got, they registered 17" of wet heavy snow, that unfortunately now is gone. The next day 3/4 of it was gone into Lake Notafraidofcolor... our backyard. 

It tickled the belly of the poodle around here, but now it's intense sun heating up our bedroom too much

speaking of sun

Milo's moment

Milo:  I guess the mama didn't want a poodle opinion on the orange cookies. Smelled great to me! 

this week, I humored the pawrents and got off the bed in the morning, and snuggled into my blue chair...

then I hear the daddy, Milo want to go for a walk? 

Wellllll, do you mean it? Let me know when you two are ready and I'll jump into my harness and grab my leash. You people wouldn't believe the process to get my peeps ready for a walk. 

Mama is faster, she pulls on her boots and does some kind of hocus pocus on them (tying the laces) then pulls on her outer skins (sweatshirt jacket), covers up her face (mask) covers her eyes (sunglasses) and covers the top of her head (hat) then peeks outside first to see if it's safe. 

the Daddy is slower... same with boots, skins, eyes, head, glasses, also has to get a bag for my poop 

really what is his fascination with my poop? 

oh by now the mama says she should go visit the bathroom first, I mean, we are going outside just do it there like I do Mama! 

sometimes she gets a sip of water, and when I follow her into the kitchen and see that, I also need a sip of water. 

by now the daddy is ready and we all three head off for a walk in the 'hood. Finally! I read my peemail, do any business that needs doing, keep my peepers open for dogs or kids running amok, and keep my people headed in the direction I want to go that day. Mostly they listen to me but sometimes I have to grab the leash to pull them back. 

people are so hard to train

now please visit these people to see what they liked this week
