I Like Thursday # 519 buns, questions, school supplies and a poodle

 

with all the upheaval in my current life, I sleep and eat less.... one morning about 6 AM I saw the sun reflected on this house  .. very Edward Hopper like,   while waiting for Alfie to pee.....  

for this week's list of likes, the only post I am sort of able to do these days, I have a few items to show
Hiya! want to see some things on a walk with me? come!

pretty orange flowers

early ducks on the pond


what's that?!! 

I'm the bunny finder! I stop and watch even when Mama doesn't see them right away

there are a LOT of bunnies here right now

I feel like a shadow of my former self and look how large alfie looks! 

but we're together and he is a godsend

He has become quite the dog lover, we've walked with Tango and his dad, Oliver and his mom, and  last night we met a couple who just moved here from Atlanta with their beauty, Mable a corgie 
She batted her eyes at Alfie who melted in love Sorry no pics

conversation starter this week
what back to school supply would you like to have now as an adult? Fresh new notebooks? markers or new crayons? fat pack of ruled paper? lunchbox?  LOL  tell us your fave

I love a fresh new notebook, new crayons with their distinctive scent! with the sharpener on the back of the box,  picked out a special lunchbox each year with thermos of course. 

Actually I would love lunch tickets, and lunchroom ladies to make me a hot lunch each day! We used to buy them for the week and keep them in a flip top bandaid box in our gray metal desks




l made sausages for dinner, so I also made hot dog buns. Used my lovely perfect hamburger bun recipe that makes 8 buns. Instead I rolled half of the dough into 4 hot dog buns and it worked.

have you noticed when your life is changed, it's comforting to sort, organize, and reduce some things?

Sorry to hear there is upheaval in your life right now. Yes, sorting, organizing, and culling things helps in such situations -- gives us some sense of control over stuff. Hang in there! Glad Alfie is a good support.

I'm sad to hear you have upheaval going on. But glad that Alfie is doing well. New school supplies have always been something I enjoyed - both as a student and as a teacher. I recently bought a new tablet of grid paper. New crayons were always one of my favorite things each year when I was a kid.

So sorry for the upheaval. May you have peace through it all.

Wishing you peace and a solution to your life problems.
As for school supplies, I always loved new pencil crayons because I rarely got them. I had to use what I had until they were too short to hold onto. Most often, if I got new ones, they would be a Christmas present rather than new for the school year.

Yes, I would very much like a lunch lady to come and make me lunch each day! Glad you and Alfie have found friends to walk with. And yum on those homemade buns, too!

crayons = it's the scent mostly.

I miss the rolls the lunch ladies used to make in my elementary school. I'm embarrassed to tell you how long ago that was!

We've had some upheaval and when that is happening one should simplify and prioritize things that help one's nervous system calm down.
