I Like Thursday, vintage cars, pretty lawn ornaments, and creamsicles

 

time to share our lists of likes for the week, I'll start with the harvest so far! 

This is the most vegetables I've ever gotten and there are little green bits still on the plant.... they are small but no less amazing to make it this far. Two plants, in two big pots, watering twice daily through the extreme heat and sun here making these the most expensive tomatoes anywhere!

I see a face on this one, do you? from minerals in our water

Time to show images from my daily walks starting with the delicate color on this tree


ornaments at the community garden caught my eye, made of pots

what a healthy beauty this is! 

nice colors on potato bags, and good hanging support system for vines

a neighbor's display is gorgeous every year
not a lawn ornament but still striking as a land yacht

beautiful grapes growing on a neighbor's fence

met on a walk

On the way back we met a neighbor with two gorgeous dogs and talked about having two at once, and rescues, living here and surviving, and I learned this husky is happy with everyone and barely sheds, the aussie mix however, sheds handfuls daily, and is too smart. Her pawrent said she learned early how to step on the trash can pedal to allow easy access to eating! 

They then got one you have to wave your hand over to open, and next thing they knew, she was hovering over it, and moving sideways to open it for easy dumpster diving. 

we had such fun comparing stories, and learning about local rescues, and he said it's okay to just get one dog as they may not even want another dog bothering them, like their aussie here (who barely tolerates them) 

fine dining

we had one more normal summer temp day, so we baked some bread, hamburger buns, banana muffins, and 3 frozen entrees while the oven was hot

we had to do muffins because the grocery delivery decided to send 3 big bunches of bananas instead of bananas, apples and peaches to us..... in this heat? gotta use them fast


Painted and sewed this week during studio time

this was another color play turned into portrait this time

I was disappointed with the abstract color play til I saw a face in it... more on Saturday's creativity post

Hallmark made a trilogy of movies from Jude Devereaux's books, we've now seen two and I'm listening to the final book on audio this week before #3 is shown coming Saturday, Love her works

Our conversation starter this week

 I just saw recipes for Fudgecicles would you want a fudgecicle or orange creamcicle? 

want to make these easy creamcicles

 https://www.chocolatemoosey.com/orange-creamsicle-yogurt-pops-small-batch/

How to answer??? This is Sophie's choice! I love both of them so much.... but if I'm pressed to make a decision, like someone is holding one of each and I am not allowed to gobble both down, 
Fudgesicle wins. That milk chocolate cool creaminess is a life pleasure. 

I was on an extreme diet and caught sight of what was called "low calorie" fudgesicles at the store. 
I had one and passed out on the sofa.... they still contained corn syrup that I'm so allergic to so.... it was a parting of the ways. 
Til now, when I found that recipe ..... 

now check out these fine folk to see  what they liked this week
(let me know if you wrote a like post to include in our list)
