I Like...

   Thank you to Leeanne of Not Afraid of Color for reminding me to notice things I like. 

I like spring rains...
 but this was too much.
I like having a forest friend keep an eye on my while I'm working in the backyard.

I like having an outdoor "office" on spring mornings.
I like these little people.
I like using up little scraps to make something new.
I like spring, but goodness, we have some weather!!!
Our house is the little pink dot near the top red X.
I like making stepping stones.

LeeAnne's  get-to-know-you writing topics this month: 

National Salad Month – What are your favorite kinds of salads? I like salad just fine, but I wouldn't say I love it.  I prefer mine with ranch or Italian dressing. Does Fruit Salad count as a salad? Yes, if it's mostly just fruit.  If it's covered in Cool Whip, it should probably be a dessert.  How about Tuna Salad or Chicken Salad? I do like a good ham salad, turkey salad, chicken salad, or tuna salad... in that order.  I like it best if it's homemade.

National Bike Month – Do you know how to ride a bike? If it's true that once you learn, you never forget, then yes; however, it's been a long time since I've tried. When did you learn? I had an aqua blue bike with a banana seat and sissy bars.  Did you ride with other kids? I lived in the country on a dirt road, so only had one set of neighbors, but the three of us rode our bikes all over. 

Speaking of bikes, have you ever ridden a motorcycle? How do you view them, or feel about them?   We enjoyed Ron's Harley for about 20 years. Last year, though, we decided it was time for a new season.

Technology Day – Name some technology that wasn’t available when you were a kid. Ha ha!  How about what technology WAS available! I remember when a Xerox copy machine was the latest thing. It would "take a picture of your page!!!!" I remember when VCRs first came out.  It was amazing to be able to have a movie night and rent 2-3 movies at a time.  What piece of technology do you think you could live without if you had to?  Hmmm... I could live without... hmmm... I'm having trouble deciding because kind of like all of my different devices.

  2. Well, that tornado path was a bit too close, eh? And the Harley photo is so good (you really should paint that, y'know?) - did you two ever go to Sturgis?

    1. No, we never went to Sturgis, but our area hosts Bikes, Blues, & Barbeque. It's when 400,000 motorcycles show up for 3 days. It's pretty loud!

  3. Goodness that tornado was a little too close. A Harley, huh? Pretty cool! Did you get a hair trim, or do you just have it pulled back in the photo. Whatever it is, it looks great!

    1. It's just in a pony tail. Long hair flying around on the back of a motorcycle is a recipe for so many tangles!

  4. Those stepping stones are cool! Ugh - tornadoes. I liked the thunderstorms in MN, but I don't miss the tornadoes!

    1. Those stepping stones are so easy! The kids were making them in Bible school one year. I went to the lady teaching their crafts, and asked for directions... a little concrete, a little water, a flat container, add pretties... ta-da!
