Welcome to another edition of "I like Thursdays" sponsored by LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color.
I'm usually sad at the end of August but not this year. I am embracing autumn. After 6 heat waves, we are enjoying the cooler temperatures--especially in the morning!
Lucky's allergies flared up this past week and he went in for a shot. He hadn't need one for about a month and half. The vet tech smiled...hardly any of the dogs were outside for any length of time during those heatwaves. Their little paws would have gotten burnt. She's right and now that we are outside again, the itchy-scratchies have returned to annoy him. At least the shots work really well and he is feeling better--always a good thing to like!
I like that the cooler weather has energized me.
This week I like that the clearing out, purging process is continuing without interruption. My husband is still working in Quebec and right now the house is a bit upside down but so worth it when I see clear spaces.
Above describes me. From the outside, everything looks fine. And to be honest, things behind doors are actually organized. There's just too much of things I don't use anymore.
I like this quote:
I also started a new quilt this week and that always feels wonderful. This one will be for my brother who has multiple health problems and lost his wife last year. I'm using the same pattern I chose for Paula's quilt. It's called Easy Peasy and you can see it here.
Lana's prompt for this week is:
"do you like amusement parks? which one is your favorite? Do you like rides or shows better?"
I only really like Knoebel's Grove in Elysburg Pennsyvlania. Even when I was a kid, I like that everything there had a character of yesteryear. The park was established in 1926 and they haven't modernized it too much. Although we like the rides, my brother and my Uncle David (who is younger than me), enjoyed playing in the creek more. The creek, tadpoles, stones, and crayfish just fascinated us. Brad and I took our grandkids there and they don't let the kids play in the creek anymore (liability, I'm sure) but it still feels magical.
Wishing you a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!

I like that it's cooler here in Colorado right now, too! Glad Lucky has been doing okay with his allergies and that you're getting a chance to do some cleaning out. Knoebel's Grove sounds like a neat place!
