I Like... (9/25)

Thank you to Leeanne of Not Afraid of Color for reminding me to notice things I like. 
Click on HER BLOG to see what positive things others like.
I like playing Wordle every morning, but this was a surprise!
I like having a colorful yard full of hens.

I like glancing out the upstairs window and seeing deer.

I like having friends come over to paint and enjoy an evening together.



I like painting on really big canvases.


I like marigolds, but they have gotten out of control this year!
They were supposed to be Thumbelina 6"-8" tall... Nope!
They took over! 

I like my outdoor office...
and my office mates.
A hawk's cry had them all running to sit beside & under my chair.
I like playing with my food!
The garden has slowed down, but it's not finished yet! 

LeeAnne's  conversation starter topics this month:
Do you have a good gingerbread type recipe to share?  What is your favorite gingerbread style food to eat? Although I do think gingerbread men are cute, I am not a fan of gingerbread cookies.  Instead I'll share a different cookie recipe.  It's my favorite.
As the weather starts to cool, do you have cozy clothes to start 
wearing? I absolutely do! I have an old blue plaid flannel shirt that's my go to anytime there's a chill.

What dish would you take to a fall gathering? My usual offering to a fall gathering would be deviled eggs. Since I have hens, I have the eggs so...    Which dish at a fall gathering would you reach for first?  I'd fill a plate the usual... Chex mix, chicken nuggets, chips & queso...

Do you still rake fallen leaves or just use a blower to clear them?   Ha!! Have you seen the trees around my house??  It would take hundreds and hundreds of bags! A leaf blower, yeah, for the porch then Ron mows them with the lawn mower!


Will you hand out candy this year? What kind? Will you wear a costume or something funny like cat ears or tiara or face mask? This year will be a little different.  I'll tell about that in next month's "I Like...s"

    1. Aren't the colors and shapes lovely! I might like to pick and photograph them more than I actually like to eat them!

  2. So many things to like in this post, but I have to chuckle a bit at your office crew sticking close to you and on high alert! Those big canvas paintings are amazing, my friend! Your garden has done well this year, too!

  3. I think those Thumbelinas just wanted out of their boundary. Or maybe they read it as "6-8 feet tall"? I looked in vain for glasses of wine at your group painting. I would definitely go for the queso and chips but also be looking around for a bowl of candy corn.

  4. What a wonderful post, Helen! I enjoyed it all and thanks especially for sharing that recipe. I used to make a cookie that included corn flakes for my kids years ago. Nice memory.
