Like Thursdays # 499 Do you like Spring?

 

welcome to this week's list of likes starting with a beautiful nature scene in Colorado

let's go for a walk shall we?

Alfie:  might as well, my toy is taking up all the bed

I spy with my little eye the first tulips! early this year of course

a poodle puppy with his Daddy

shadow's capture the trees in bud already

looks like a leftover "egg skin" from easter

sun's out and it's already hot in Colorado
alfie took us to see some more housing development...

Better stay in the shade the mama!

50 shades of brown here...

Listening to another Hanna Swenson mystery on audio book and reading another Museum mystery on E Book (By Connolly) 

Our conversation starter this week is:

Do you like Spring? Why?  what makes you feel Spring has sprung around your house? 

I have too many spring allergies to like it, plus it is the harbinger of hot misrable weather, neighbors hired pesticide sprayers that give me occular migraines (I can't see for hours) etc.  There are few/random flowers here to enjoy too. Sorry for the less stellar review to those of you who like Spring. 

I know it's spring when the flies and wasps come back out. This year I put on the new summer patio tablecloth already

Alfie: I like my toy to sleep with me, truth is I don't know what to do with a toy, I never really had one

thankful for a good report from DH's medical test

for a little "Class" today... just say it in French:

Had a good laugh at the Chanson Profonde video! And my, what a back-up band she had for it!

Sara said...

So glad your DH's tests were good. We have green right now, but because we're in a drought we'll have the 50 shades of brown soon too. Spring brings allergies for me too - as soon as things begin to get green outside.

A good report is always welcome news! Alfie is such a cutie! Enjoy your walks!

Alfie and the sprinkler is a hoot!

That's good news about DH's medical test results! Love the video of Alfie playing in the sprinkler, too. I'm sorry you have the allergies to deal with - that makes this (what should be pleasant) time of year so unpleasant. Happy Thursday!

Hooray for good test results for DH and hooray for a happy walking Alfie@

I do like spring, but I am heavy into gardening! It's my time to plant and grow everything I can. Be well and thank you for linking up.

We love watching you playing under your sprinkler, Alfie, and the tulips are just beautiful. We love spring for the flowers and the air smells so wonderful!

A very nice walk around. It feels like Alfie was meant to be yours. Love the video. Have a very nice day today.

I'm always happy to see spring arrive but it's primarily because it means the end of the hated winter.

Michele McLaughlin said...

So fun to see Alfie playing with the sprinkler! Lucky didn't know how to play with a toy either but my brother and I taught him. He loves them now! Sending hugs!

Alfie and his toy crack me up, he will learn with such a loving Mama.I love spring, the burst of new life, trees with flowers, bushes with color and the flowers…and the smell when the lilacs open. We are a few weeks from it….I am excited.
