I Like Thursday # 498 Easter chocolate

 

Welcome to this week's list of likes starting with this inflatable Easter bunny who frightened my puppy

OMDog  Mama is it alive??  (Mama: no honey, want to sniff it?) 

Alfie:  Uh no, let's just quietly keep walking.... 
while keeping an eye on it to see if it's following us! 

Critter noticing
this week Alfie noted a yard squirrel chowing down on the honeydew shells we put under the tree

His first time racing toward a critter, and the squirrel went up the tree, looked down and chittered at Alfie for quite a while. Alfie stood like a statue looking up and would have for hours if we hadn't called him in., 

He is getting good at responding when I say, Alfie baby, come ! 


He and I saw this beauty on one of our walks.... Alfie looked for a while, watched then calmly walked by....

suddenly Spring sprung here. We never had winter or Fall, but it's been pretty hot and everything seems to be flowering! I love flowers, not allergies but... 

love pink blossoms!


yes to colorful sunsets on evening walks
and calm poodle puppies with long legs too long for his big bed! 
Another first this week, Alfie chewed up a paper towel roll center.... 
I like a quiet morning activity, don't you?

luckily he like my other poodles, spits out the cardboard!

Conversation Starter this week:
Do you make anything special for Easter dinner? Do you use special recipes or tableware? Do you order chocolate bunnies to give out or keep? Do you bite the ears off first? What about hot cross buns or other special cookies? share your recipe? 

we don't have a special dinner but I love chocolate. Unfortunately American Chocolate is full of addititves... I tried making peanut butter eggs once, worked out but a lot of work. This year I plan to try these

I also plan to follow my saved recipe for hot cross buns. I have made them several times and they are so good, fluffy, slightly sweet from castor sugar, and special.  As a little girl I did bite the ears off chocolate bunnies, liked malted milk ball eggs best,  had a new pez dispenser in my basket,  and wore a new dress with crinolines to church. Easter egg hunts were my favorite thing to do though! 

DH had to have a medical test and we are both relieved the test is over tho we await results

I finished my stay at home round robin, LINK HERE

Looking forward to this year's Sketchbook Revival lessons starting April 11  

gotta go now, see you soon Love, Alfie ( almost 22 months old)
Alfie: I liked treeing that squirrel, tearing up paper, eating enough food 3 times a day) sleeping when I want to even while snoopervising the sewing room, playing in the sprinkler and how cool if feels after grooming excess hair away. I get treats for coming when Mama calls, and I go to her, and for lying down when she says to. 
I just love it here, and that there are no other dogs to bite me, I get to sleep in mama's room, I get to take time to enjoy all the birds on the field here.
