I Like Thursday # 506 hair disasters, skies, art and a poodle

 

welcome to my weekly list of likes starting with the clouds lately! 

then we had a few drops of rain.... back East if it started to rain you ran for home. Here you keep walking and likely it stops in the next block.... we need rain even if we just groomed our beloved poodle 

rain makes my hair kink up! 

I love water from the fridge with a slice of lemon

I order to increase my water intake, I now keep the brita filter container in the fridge and keep a lemon slice in my glass all day

from youtube:

how do they know?

listening to a great series by Sheila Connolly this time about a young woman who sees her ancestors when she moves to PA...

another spectacular sky/cloud photo

Our conversation starter
Did you ever dye your hair or get a perm and it turned into a disaster? 

I remember my mother gave me a perm as a little girl.... for a child who's hair is like baby bird hair, straight, thin sparse that was a massive mistake

then as a grown woman in the 80's I fell into the idea of BIG HAIR and got a perm. 

The first one kinked up and looked horrible

yep, I tried again next year and after the torture of rolling and chemicals, heating said chemicals, as the hairdresser had me in that brutal sink, as she unrolled each tight curler, she started to say, 

"Oh No

Ohnoohnoohnoohno"

each section came out straighter than it went in, but with chemical burn

then I gave up on having curls and made what I could of my still straight, thin, baby bird hair

As a young married woman I put self color on that was meant to wash out in 8 washes

It lasted months, growing out. One day I got heart palpitations using the color, so I tried it again about 3 months later and heart palp again so that was the last day I did that

now I'm au natural

I think of it as brown with gray "highlights" 

your hair is fine mama! 

hot cool hot cool.... Alfie: I am proud to say I was brave this weekend and walked up to a woman and let her pet me while I leaned on her! She was barely taller than I am but she raises and trains Malinois shepherds for the police dept! 

I did get spooked and growled at that weird man waking around our yard. Mama and I went to the back door to see and I kept growling. 

Then Mama took a risk and opened the door (mama here, it was the daddy mowing the grass wearing gloves, a bucket hat, sunglasses, a mask and mismatched clothes) (I don't know if Alfie didn't recognize him or was complaining about the weird clothing) 

Alfie here, again. Well that man took off his gloves and I stepped forward to sniff fingers, looked up then he took off the glasses, hat and mask and I said, 

"Well okay then I guess you may continue" but I've been here over 3 months now, and I've decided it's time I protect the place, and the mama!

I'm still painting each day, trying to make my purchased lessons work on my computer.... 

sadly Survivor is over but some summer shows will start soon (like love Island )
