I Like Thursday # 465 Colors, stunning skies, ice cream treats, and more

 

Welcome to this week's list of likes starting with this pretty bird house in the RSC color of the month

AQUA

I make note of anything in that month's color as I go on walks.... 

speaking of birds, we came out for a walk, looked to the left at the street light post and I saw a bird on it

Okay, kind of cool like a finial
then before I could get a second pic I thought it disappeared but saw this on my camera after
Wow, love this take off
saw a t-shirt with this on it this week... yep...


uh oh.... no rain in the forecast but we saw this....

then this

the weather here is so mercurial forecasts are seldom correct. We could get 8 drops or storm with hail the size of golf balls. Temps could drop 60 deg in an afternoon, or go up 20 deg in 15 minutes. 

it got sunny near the end of our walk, making this grass glow with sunshine at 7 pm

Nothing much to note... no dog for us yet, all the possibles were just taken.... 
It's horribly hot, dh is still coughing from throat irritation (likely wildfires burning in Colorado), not much on TV 

But on video....

heart toast  small things mean a lot


I'd like to go here, women's only chateau retreat

Our Prompt this week.... did you grow up going to Dairy Queen and what was your favorite treat to get? Do you still go there? 




I was the latecomer to the family both sisters married off by the time I was (5   and 7  ) so we went to the walk up ice cream place. I always wanted a butterscotch dipped cone with the swirl on top. 
Biting that butterscotch fragile coating and the melted swirl in it, was a pure pleasure. 

Then as I lived in Tampa Florida, it began to melt immediately and drip and get all over me, the cone becoming a leathery sopping mess in my little hands. 

some times I got a dilly bar, a flat ice cream disc coated in milk chocolate. 
I haven't been since I was an older teen but have fond memories. 
One time (only) I got a banana split.... three swirls of vanilla ice cream with different toppings on top of a split banana in a little flimsy plastic boat. I hated it actually, it all ran together into glop, and I mostly ate the whipped cream and cherry on top. 

Later I found out why I was always sick after... allergy to corn (and corn syrup) 

I have been sewing this week, and knitting... and those weekly creativity posts are on Saturdays

Wish me luck in finding a slightly older non shedding dog to join our family

Good luck finding your perfect k9 companion. Waiting for more on those dragonflies.

Love the birdie taking off from the lamp post and I loved the swirly cones at DQ. We wish you lots of luck finding your next forever friend!
