I Like Thursday # 461 gardens, colors, summer dinners

 

time for another list of small likes, starting with these colorful pots seen at our community garden

I've been walking a lot, early morning, and late afternoons, to strengthen my back, I saw this lovely lavender along the way

and more shots of the community garden in a minute

Sewing

I finished my challenge piece this  week, for Joy's Table Scraps, and will share photos Saturday. It's called butterfly house... 

shared this project last Saturday... hand sewn hexies

no response on my inquiry about this rescue dog, a 9 lb poodle

I am ready to love again and praying for the right pup to join our family
want to do a jigsaw puzzle with me? I like this site: jigsaw planet

conversation starter this week: 

do you like particular foods for summer dinners? do you use a recipe or combine whatever ingredients you have on hand? 

yum, nectarines are delish even if we did order peaches! 

We tend to eat more BIG salads for dinner when it's so hot.... I'm not a fan of cooking in general, but do like to eat. 

I love fresh fruit and vegetables available in summer, like melons. 

Love the sounds of a donkey enjoying watermelon...

Watermelon! I cut it up, put it in a fridge container to snack on no mess. 

I've been known to drink a watermelon martini... or two...

Our kitchen is directly below our bedroom and heat rises so with it hovering around 100 F we bake much less dinners than we would like.

 Speaking of food, we took a walk by our neighborhood community garden this week 

there are about 20 plots, that rent for $150 a year. They have water

benches

composting area

each person decorates their plot differently and have very lush plants growing

love a colorful leggo wall divider

and my OWN backyard wildflowers are finally blooming! 

and my rose bush is finally rose-ing

they are knock out roses and lovely shades of orange but small

On TV

Watching Love Island, hunt for love, Love abroad, 90 day fiance, and bachelor in Paradise

the summer of love? Oh, not quite, watching Big Brother too! 

Listening to audio books, and reading a Molly Murphy book

 Watching on video

I liked this set of videos, the guy will purchase an old photo and then research who it is, and their lives, and I find them very interesting, and a history lesson. I've watched several and like the guy who does it, and learned some about how to do historical research from him...

 

that's it, stay cool, speak your truth, be kind to others, (thank you for visiting) 

please visit these folk to see their list of likes this week, and remember to tell me what foods you like in the summer months

now please visit these folk to see what they liked this week, and how would you answer the prompt?
