I Like Thursday # 509 birthdays, hanging flower baskets, fun videos


welcome to this weeks list of likes.... how about the blue of our skies in Colorado? 

I'll start with our beautiful pup Alfie... who... turned age 2 years old on Wednesday. Here he is in 
"lazy puppy sit"  


Oh my heart is so full of love for him! 
we had a tummy upset the day after he had a "sprinkler spree" 
we had to give him yogurt and rice for a day and now he is better 
here he is chewing on a dental toy in the shade of his toy box. 
yep every time we throw a toy, he fetches it immediately to drop it with his collection 
he keeps them all together under this tree

Heyyyyy who's that across the street? 

better get ready to guard our yard
He has also been with us for 4 months now and it's like he's always been here! 

 now a few pics fron our walk this week 
These three birds sitting in a row made me think of how much I like plays  


there was some kind of golf competition, look at these guys all in blue shirts... pretty drab compared to the usual golf attire we see walking by, LOL!  

a song for you....

The weather is horribly hot here for June, but I still planted some cucumber seeds to see if they can handle it... they are still hiding from the sun. I put more seeds in a wet paper towel to see if they germinate there before planting them. 

whew! it's so hot I was glad my pawrents did a grooming on me and cut some hair shorter



we played a quiet game new to me. The mama rolls one of my play toy balls under the table at me, I grab it, and run put it under the "tree toy box" HAHA safe and sound! None of those yard bunnies better take a toy...BOL 

Haha this post is about me me me! I love it here, and love sprinklers, and following mama around, and taking walks. 
I don't get it, my name is Alfie but mama keeps calling me " COME ON STOP SNIFFING" 

listening to the next book in the series... 

reading on E-books this next in Her Royal Spyness mysteries


can't wait to read (or listen to) them each day


We finally changed out our winter clothes for our stored summer duds.... just in nick of time 

I like the closet to be spacious, and only see clothes for that season, are you like that? 


conversation starter this week, what are your favorite flowers for hanging baskets??? 

For me. Fuchias in any colors... back east you saw these in every little village downtown....  

Fantastic Fuchsias the Ballerina Flower 

 I have not had real success with them, got tips for lush growth for me? Now in Colorado it seems too hot and dry for nearly any hanging baskets... wah!!! 

In Maryland, I had window boxes for porch railings and built lovely displays yearly... love sweet potato vine, tall flowers, hanging down flowers, mixed. 

I am considering fake flower baskets now... neighbors have them and they have color without the failures

 

dogs and their beds.... Alfie will collect toys, bones. etc but needs help unloading the bed or he squeezes into the available space...



like watermelon in summer? wow!
