I Like Thursday # 507 clouds, insects, pecans and a poodle
welcome to this week's list of likes starting with some magnificent sky photos ! We have had impending rain, not really rainy, the most has been maybe 10 drops after the clouds ramping up for a deluge.
Still 10 drops is something....
the clouds have been mighty! this is looking toward Buckley AFB and this is a shot of some of their observatories from our 'hood
Look how my puppy sits on the stairs to watch me...
Hi Mama, I can watch you from this perch!
this morning I looked down at his day bed to see he'd been collecting my socks for some reason
finished .my book series on the museum mysteries set in Philly started a Her Royal Spyness latest episode I missed novel by Rhys Bowen
made some more candied pecans to keep for snacks
pecans, egg whites and bit of water, cinnamon mixed with sugar, single layer, 250 F, for an hour stirring every 15 min.
so good and the house smelled great after baking them. They last us at least 2 weeks or more.
conversation starter: What would be your favorite insect and why? think about the good or
pretty insects out there not just annoying ones... did you ever capture
lightning bugs in a jar as a kid?
I love praying mantis... so cool formal insects in the bug world. My friend Pat collected PM stuff... miss her so much... Met her on the plane from Houston (quilt show) back to MD... kept up a friendship for years til she passed to angel form
I also love dragonflies... the way they move, the delicate wings, the long bodies...
I remember spending the summer with my sister Patti's family in Indiana. Every night had a wonderful sunset and cool temps. The neighbor kids her kids and me... we'd run around playing games or capturing lightening bugs while the adults sat in folding chairs and talked.
I grew up lonely in Florida, no lightening bugs but too many mosquitoes so that memory is like old time America to me
I'm upset that two things came in already opened from food delivery this week, what the heck?
We met two women walking a baby in a stroller and a corgie puppy on leash. So many people live in this 'hood, and its fun to meet nice ones. They both wanted to pet my pretty pup and he carefully approached both of them nicely. They previously both had rescue dogs, one who adjusted well, one who always was traumatized, both were rejected in adoption and returned to the shelter (like Alfie was) so they knew how to let Alfie take the first steps.
He is becoming a brave boy, and will be 2 this month. I love him so....
I like hoomans who move slow and let me go up to them
He was so funny this weekend when we planted wildflower seeds out back and watered them.
We dropped the hose faucet so it sprayed up into the air, and he had so much fun playing in water again
