Welcome to this week's list of likes, starting with my puppy Alfie, 2 years old, and is developing a real sense of humor! He is greeting human friends now without prompting, and today greeted a schnauzer while out on a walk.
Speaking of walks, a few pictures
usually it's blazing hot intense sun of high altitudes here, creating mighty shadows
alfie spotted this ...

I order to increase my water intake, I now keep the brita filter container in the fridge and keep a lemon slice in my glass all day
from youtube ...
I just love clouds and this week, we had blessed rain. No not a torrent, a gentle 10 drops, then stop, then a bit of drizzle, then stop, repeat.
 |
| love the clouds when they announce rain is a'comin' |
It was enough to make the ground damp. Our across the street neighbor bought 40 bags of soil, spread it across the front of his property, and we stopped on our walk to chat about it. The husband was holding Alfie's leash so when the neighbor said ...

welcome to this week's short list of likes...
I like that it cooled off, snowed a bit, even if it was less than predicted. A heavy wet snow that should help with our extreme drought

| within an hour of snow stopping, melted... we got about 7" of wet snow |
 |
| Alfie: I tole you mama, you should let me go out and play more |
birds singing, only birds, no talk.... very soothing to me

what would you like for Mother;s day
I LOVE tulips and these neighbors' are pretty in purple to pinks
It's been nearly too hot to walk this week, but I have a couple photos...
(Alfie: well, it is hot and one might think the mama would appreciate her poodle reminding her to stop and smell the roses! Of course while we stop I'll be smelling the trees and grass to check my pee-mail)
bird watching, rockin' robins!!!
The robins are back and pretty cheeky! They do not fear Alfie or me. Both of us like to watch them too
Alfie has discovered the ability to watch wild life from out back slider to the patio... bird watching has become one of his favorite hobbies, after eating, being petted, keeping watch on the Mama, playing keep away with his Kong ball in the back yard, and going for long walks.
We had a few firsts, since we've now been together 2 ...

I want to keep going at a high speed, so now when he stops, I stop and pull my abdomen in and practice good posture til he's done. Since it's been just over a week now, I am seeing him walk longer between sniffs
It's been a long time coming as the song says. Milo passed over a year ago. We think we've found the sweetest boy to join our family and help us love again. He is 20 months old, a standard poodle, very skinny at 50 lbs and such a gentleman.
