I Like # 421 hayrides, art, poodle in a jar

even a tuna sandwich tastes better on a pumpkin plate!

 welcome to this week's list of likes. I like tuna, I like pumpkin plates! On with the show...

Painting

I'm in the middle of a wonderful art online course (free) so will spend a moment sharing a few pics of my recent paintings. This is a sort of halloween-y magical vase... swirling with gold and watercolor paint

Our prompt this week is: have you been on a hayride? tell us the stories! 

I've been on a few and liked all of them. One in particular was in Tenn. during my college year at Lee College. I was asked to accompany a lovely young man from the Honduras. So sweet, kind, cute. We snuggled into the hay sort of reclining to see the stars.  Gently swaying a bit, the scent of hay fresh and clean, the sky unbelievably clear without human lights. 

We chatted about our lives, our college experience (a Christian college) and our hopes for the future. We held hands, and were silent. Others around us did the same. I think we were all in AWE of the beauty that night held. It was peaceful, and I've had not too much peace in my life. We shared the moment grateful to spend it together. 

We never dated again for some reason, and I only spent one year at that college, returning to finish my degree at the university of S. Fl. so we lost touch. He rode back to school with me after the Christmas break, and I remember we had some kind of sugar shortage going on so he brought us a large bag of it!

Just because it's lovely

Skeleton Serving Bowl 

Hurricane
I went through many hurricanes growing up in florida, but I am concerned about my friends  in this one. Here is a solution one man did to protect his home. 

Watching on TV
so many fun shows, usually on the same night! I love TV at night to help me calm my nerves. 
Dancing with the stars, Big Brother, Survivor, some new dramas like High Potential, The golden bachelorette, Murdoch Mysteries on Acorn, and not watched but will Emily in Paris has returned!

Milo's MOMent

Hiya... I like almond butter! 
Mama gave me the font of all good tastes this week, the nearly empty jar of goodness 
I was so excited, I didn't think twice, I didn't play hard to get, I ran over and unfurled my long tongue and 
Bliss! 
nom nom nom   
All I could think in the nutty haze was "don't pull it away!" and "I wish my tongue was longer!"

now please visit these fine folks to read what they liked this week!

Excellent job on the paintings! I'm glad you're feeling a bit better... good enough to do three good paintings anyway.
