I Like Thursday #65

Welcome to my I Like Thursday post #65.  Thank you LeeAnna of Not Afraid of Color for encouraging us to find things we like during the week and share with others.

I marvel at how quickly things change during the spring, but then there are times it seems to drag.  Especially when you get days, and days of rain and no sun.

I like the lilac trees for a lack of a better description that front the road along the lot. The smell is heavenly!

There are usual lilac colored ones and white.  I would love to add some of the dark purple, light lavender, and dark pink, and perhaps some other varieties. 

The lily of the valley are starting to bloom finally!  

I don't even know why they make me smile.

My flowering almond, which probably needs a wee bit of work, trimming some dead off of it.  

I love the prairie fire maple.


I like this tree I saw in a nearby town's park.

This tree is in the little town of Dundee.


Nearby along the old main street storefronts is a small door wedged in the wall.  It always catches my attention.

Knights of Pythias hall. 

When the rain lets up for a couple of days the help shows up without being told or asked.  He just decided that I needed my side yard mowed.

Many people asked about the oriole feeder.  I will say that it does attract them.

Sorry for the 2nd photo, but it is through the screen.  If I an outside it will land, scold me and fly away squawking at me the whole time. 

I spied this garden statue at the local feed store.  Going to the feed store is always fun.

This beauty is a about 3 foot tall.  His price tag is $130!

Kids on the farm always do interesting things.  I was walking back after picking the youngest up at the bus stop and spied this little vignette.

All the cars on the top rail of the goat pen racing from the movie Cars.

I will leave you with a chicken picture.  I looked out and I thought Oh no something got my chicken.  

Imagine my surprise when I see this and they are laying on the ground in a mud puddle?  I walked over and they are just basking in the sun!  The sit up, look at me like what's your problem?  Get up and walk away.

Life is always fun and interesting here. Now head over to LeeAnna's to see the other I Like Thursday posts.

  3. Hi Colette! Oh, the lilac trees - we used to have the whole row of them lining the backyard at my parents' house. Just seeing the photo takes me back to the scent and how dense they were. No one cut through our yard because they were thick! Ooh, and your lily of the valley are blooming! Mine are up but no blooms yet . . . and there's the grape jelly feeder!! LOVE it. I guess the guy playing with the cars got interrupted but had to line them up just so before running off. We wouldn't want them to fall into the pen, to be lost forever!! Maybe your girls were giving themselves a facial with the mud bath? It IS good for your skin afterall - they saw it on the news. ~smile~ Roseanne P.S. Julierose got to MEET Bobbin?!! In person?!! I'm so jealous.

  6. Oh interesting things blooming all around. I love seeing what grows where. My lilac tree is just leafing out.
    Who knew chickens like to sun bathe! I'm so glad you captured a photo of the oriole. Isn't it just gorgeous!

  7. Sunbathing chickens...interesting. I'm glad that's what they were doing and not victims of a naughty critter. I always enjoy your Thursday Likes. Thanks for sharing!

  10. Hehe, the hens sure do like the sun :) I've caught our rooster in that pose before and he is quite indignant...he's at least 7? I think, didn't know they could live that long so...

  11. I love all your growing things! Looks like you got a bit of sun there - it's finally peeking out here, too. The picture of your hen all laid out like that, and you wondering what was going on, cracked me up! I would wonder the same thing!

  13. I guess even chickens enjoy the warmth of the sun! Your outdoor pictures are gorgeous! My lilacs are purple but I would love to have some with different colors. Enjoy the holiday weekend!
