welcome to this week's list of small likes... starting with the first two blossoms on my own potted plants
they are small, but that color! whee! I love color! and flowers, I love flowers
I saw this in a neighbor's garden
Not in my yard but very pretty....
I love these tall flowers |

Helloooooo auntie LeeAnna! |
(any other old ballet dancers out there? )
Their owner came to chat with us a bit, he's just so nice. I asked about bringing them a carrot.... but they are on a certain diet controlling their sugar so , no, but they ran to the fence to greet me.
there are a lot of these around the 'hood
sometimes they watch us walk by, sometimes they 'hare off' thru the smallest opening in a wire fence like the shape changers they are!I couldn't get a photo but when I was standing just watching nature in my back yard, a robin hopped toward me around a bush and then stopped to consider what she was looking at.
She took one more step looking right at me, tilted her head this way and that, and I swear I saw panic grow in her eyes. I said softly it's okay, and she flew off to the fence.
A neighbor of mine in Maryland was a critter whisperer.... they were safe with him they knew
Another lawn ornament
a selfie
Already in the 90's early in the morning, the sun here at high altitudes is intense, I look for shadows and noticed myself. ( trying to stay in the small bits of shade but not many trees thrive here)Baking happened again
baking this weekend, hamburger buns, and strawberry and cream muffins |
a loaf of sandwich bread
some sewing with scraps happened
TV is being watched, books are being read and heard on audio
(American Big Brother starts tomorrow on tv)
Our conversation starter this week is : Hammock or digging in the garden? Hmmmm??
Not that my back allows me to dig in the dirt but I just love a garden with flowers
our summers are so intensely hot even tomatoes often refuse to fruit, and I'm still waiting for native wildflowers to bud but in my heart I'd love a garden with a mix of flowers and vegetables
I looked out the other day and my yard bunny was sitting right in the center of the lettuce raised bed. Thanks Mom!
what about you? I love to read your comments and stories on our prompts!
please visit these folk to see what they liked, and if they prefer hammock or gardening this year
some funny short videos

The flowers are so beautiful and the donkey babies must have been so entertaining to watch! There is nothing better than homemade bread with butter!
Love the photos and flowers but the donkeys and bunnies stole my heart! Kudos to you for baking during the summer heat!
Thanks for that strawberry cream muffin recipe, I'm going to try it soon. I'm tired of all the muffin recipes I already know how to make.
I love that dragonfly fabric!
