I Like... (April 2026)

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 my new little pink dogwood!  
She's going to be a treat year after year.
I like having enough eggs to share with friends.
I like Elfie. She's such a friendly little hen.
I like getting to spend two entire days
doing art with my favorite art partners.

I like a few days in someplace different.





I like getting the garden ready to go!

I like a slow pace around home!
I like iris season!

I like salad, but sheesh... anyone need some lettuce or spinach??




I like that these onions & garlic have come back
from the beating they took from a hailstorm.
I like saying good morning to the forest friends who stop by.

LeeAnne's  conversation starter topics this month:

Did you ever wear gogo boots? platform shoes? earth shoes? Nope, nope, nope.  I think those were just a few years before my time. I remember them, but I was still a little girl in the 60s & 70s.

Did you ever wear mini skirts ? fishnet hose?  halter tops? Nope, nope, nope.  I'm starting to feel like a real fashion bore!

As a young child did you ever wear plastic sandals? Bonus if you also had on ankle socks. Maybe... but I think I have to go nope and nope again. 

Did you ever dye your hair The only time in my life that I died my hair was between the ages of 38-41.  I decided that I didn't have to be gray before 40, but when I turned 41, I gave in to the gray. or get a perm and it turned into a disaster? Oh, the home perm kit by Toni!  The smell! I can smell it to this day!  Yeah, my mom gave me perms occasionally, buy my hair is straight and was never intended to be anything else.  

What would you love to get for Mother's day as a present? Let yourself go wild with imagination 
surprise us with what you'd just love to have this year.  I got a pink dogwood tree for my birthday last month.  I love it.  (See the photo above.)

  1. i have a pic o me in my black lace up go-go boots somewhere, no idea where though. Might be good for a later post. That dogwood tree is so pretty! And those egg colors - so fun!

  2. I like all your likes, and if I lived close I'd take some of your produce off your hands. What is the little creature in the woods, I can't quite make it out? Possum? I had to say Nope to most of those things, but I did wear anklets as a child and "kind of" mini skirts in college and as a young adult. Oh those Toni perms and that smell! I love that pink dogwood.

  3. While I could say yes to most of the fashion questions, I did dye my hair myself for years - not always successful. A friend and I use to get a bottle (or two) of wine to go with our hair frosting kits. those were adventurous days. I love seeing your posts, your dogwood is beautiful. We live in the desert SW, so I very much enjoy all of the green you share with us.
