Seems like the weather now goes from hot to cold/snow here now but I'm holding on to the idea of "Autumn"

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.

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

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 ...

pretty poppies in our yard

here we are again, remembering the small things this week that made us smile.

we walk daily and live on a golf course, 650 homes on and around the course, so our walks often take us past views like this of the creek with ducks, or geese on the putting green

looking a lot like the humans staring at their golf balls on the same putting green

the same creek in morning light

welcome to this week's list of little likes starting with another yard ornament, or is it a house ornament?

Anyway, I love the way it looks against the stone, the beautiful plants/flower baskets and the bench next to it all on the front porch of this house. The house next door has a kokopelli tucked into a tree stump

I enjoy walking and looking at what each person adds to their yards.

I notice things such as the roof on this house turret is the exact same shade as their shiny VW bug
