Our conversation starter this week:

do you decorate with traditional things year after year? what are they and can you show us? has there been a year when you didn't feel like dragging out the decorations and how did you handle that?

Like most people I have traditional things, certain Quilts I always display, and if the year is like this one, very few come out....because anything that comes out will have to be put away ...

I Like Thursday # 483 from Not Afraid of Color

welcome to this week's list of likes starting with snow covered mountains and a lovely visit with this horse

snow's melted now, we are having sunny days in the mid 70's instead of cold and snow. I HATE this.

Reports say it's now the trend, due to climate change, luckily I met a nice couple on a walk this week and they moved here for cold too, he said they'll be moving out because this is due to climate change and and they like cold too. It was a blessing that they weren't science ...

i like Thursday # 482 snow, stress, holidays from Not Afraid of Color

welcome to this week's list of likes.... I like cold temps and snow, therefore we moved to Colorado... not it's about to be in the 70's in the sun for over a week here.

In December. 5 years ago it was consistently cold and snowy from October on.

We did have a bit of snow...

footprints in the thin layer over the golf course. That became snow lace

and annoying icy snow

and is gone less than a week later now. We MAY have to get out the AC again too.

You know the adhesive stick figures ...

I Like Thursday # 473 neighborhood stroll, puzzles, quilt, books, no dog still from Not Afraid of Color

welcome to this week's list of likes.... I liked this neighbor's decor

on our walks this week we explored another 'hood and they had a nature area... old, unspoiled, quiet,

reminded me of Florida preserves... we stood for a long while, just breathing in and out, letting our eyes drift and our brains take a break

some homes were built along the preserve, and we thought that might be nice

I enjoyed this more formal halloween look

and if we had a dog, I would be tempted to dress them in this

it says Kissing Booth

I Like Thursday # 469 mums the word, ballroom dance, and broken sidewalks from Not Afraid of Color

time for another list of likes for this week, mid-September. I love mums in the autumn so DH got three small pots for me. I can see them through my wildflowers on tall stems, that dance like ballerinas in the wind here.

Shall we get started with a few pics of my walks this week? Okay!

this is on one plot of the community garden, and it always strikes me as graceful

welcome to this week's list of likes starting with a flower parade! This clump of sunny golden yellow flowers caught my eye on a walk this week

the temps were a bit more moderate but the humidity was higher than I've ever known it to be in Colorado

making morning walks uncomfortable in the intense sunshine but, I LIKE to walk and be outside. Come with me won't you? another neighbor has a gorgeous floral covered yard, and this is not a bouquet....

It's one stem of flowers!!! My roses are pathetic. Small, pale, few petals ...

time to share our lists of likes for the week, I'll start with the harvest so far!

This is the most vegetables I've ever gotten and there are little green bits still on the plant.... they are small but no less amazing to make it this far. Two plants, in two big pots, watering twice daily through the extreme heat and sun here making these the most expensive tomatoes anywhere!

I Like Thursday # 463 skies, books, hula hoops! from Not Afraid of Color

blue skies over the driving range

it's summer y'all... in case the 100 F. temps didn't convey that.... Summer in Colorado is hot hot hot.

the fields are full of wild growth creating vistas

we are at a higher altitude than Denver even, and the sun takes full advantage of thin altitude.

the lawn ornaments might melt

some might have given up!

Found: sneakers (at last)

I think I have finally found sneakers that feel fairly good (although not a lot of arch support)

legs may appear larger than in real life!

These are RYKA brand, cushy ...
