I Like Thursday # 469 mums the word, ballroom dance, and broken sidewalks

 

time for another list of likes for this week, mid-September. I love mums in the autumn so DH got three small pots for me. I can see them through my wildflowers on tall stems, that dance like ballerinas in the wind here. 

Shall we get started with a few pics of my walks this week? Okay! 

this is on one plot of the community garden, and it always strikes me as graceful

one of the water features on our golf course. I liked the glint off the water and reflections in the early morning. This shot doesn't particularly sparkle but it did in real life, and I like sparkles

I loved the broken sidewalks, the way they looked like a neurographic drawing, so took a pic of some to print and color in then one evening they were plastered over!!!  Clean, new, no longer of interest

Then I saw what I think looks like Yoda.... heh heh it's still there! 

there are always golf balls bouncing around us, (not a fan) so when I saw this I thought, another one.... 

when I looked closer, I saw it was a mushroom from our rain and humidity this week!

I made oven flautas for lunches, and combined the last of them with two spanikopita triangles that reminded me of quilty flying geese! 

Oh forgot to say, Halloween yard decorations are popping up... loved these

big skeleton from Grandin Road catalogue

the owner, a nice young man chatted with us a while, which makes me really happy. They also have this lady that scared their dog so she is over near the garage

Do you think the style of decorations we choose says anything about us?  

this sits on our entry table all year.... I love the texture, size and color so.... 

Conversation starter this week

Did you get a new notebook and paper to use that year? I remember picking a notebook was a big deal.

 I remember the year I got thin ruled paper instead of big lines. I remember getting flair pens to use instead of pens and I had a cartridge ink pen one year too. Do you still like having notebooks and calling them journals? 

I loved the organization (dividers) of it all. 

I admit those little snap rings sometimes bit me!

there always seemed to be a plastic zip bag in my new notebooks, with tools I seldom used. 

(We recently got something I did use back then, a wax pencil. We'll use it  to jot dates on open food containers)

I still have notebooks, I keep recipes we try ad like in them, and love journals, can't have too many

watching on tv

SO excited dancing with the stars and high potential shows are back on tv 

(I'm a dancer, or was before one too many injuries) I used to study ballet, tap, ballroom, and cajun jitterbug! I miss contra the most, and waltzing.... it's a real skill to follow someone's lead. 

Watching on youtube:

love history? This is a view into 17th century France....fascinating to me
