I Like Thursday #146 - early morning and other things

Happy Thursday, friends!  Hope you're having a great week!  Thanks for visiting my I Like Thursday post, and don't forget to check out the other posts in our weekly blog hop hosted by LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color.

I was up early Monday morning,  and enjoyed my first sip out on our back porch where it was nice and cool.


It was lovely to watch the sky lighten and the world wake up!


Most every morning there are bunnies in the yard.  This little guy was having some breakfast!


In other likes this week - Colorado peaches are here, and so yummy!

My mom is coming for her August visit next week, 
so that means there is a peach pie in my future!  :)

I enjoyed a little fabric shopping this week, and found just the right thing for my basket embroidery project.


Here's a peek at my plan - 

There will be 5 baskets and 4 alternate blocks, plus a border to make a small wall-hanging.  Just a little more embroidery needed to finish up the basket blocks.
Sharing these at Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.

And finally, this sign greeted us at our Starbucks yesterday - 

That's us!   I like a business where the people greet you by name when you come in and are always friendly and welcoming!

That's it for this post - thanks, again, for visiting!

    "Easing into the day" is what I call my morning tryst with nature. Enjoy an extra piece of pie for me!

    Your basket project looks awesome. Enjoy the bunnies, I have a bunch too. LOL you are known by name at Starbucks? Enjoy your visit with mom. Which reminds me I need to make a lemon meringue pie for my dad.

    Hi Diann! How cool is that about Starbuck's recognizing you and Mike??!!! Love that! And Colorado peaches are just the BEST. My mom and I would stalk the grocery store until they had them, and we'd buy a flat case of them. We'd whip home and eat some right away, and then we'd get to peeling and such. Peach jam, peach pie but the best was peaches on Frosty Flakes for breakfast. YUM! What a wonderful memory. Makes my mouth water. I'll have to be on the lookout for them here. ~smile~ Roseanne

    How cool is it that Starbucks knows your name, and your preferred drinks of choice! I've always thought that would be fun. Your little visiting bunnies are darling, and your quilt plan and fabrics are so nice. Peach pie, and a visit from your mom -- what could be better?!

    I like the sound of "nice and cool" on your back porch. :)
    Your basket wall hanging is going to be precious.
    What a nice surprise for you at Starbucks! You guys are kind of celebrities. ;)
    Please torture us with a photo of your Mom's peach pie when she makes it, and have a great visit with her.

    How fun about the coffee shop! We've had a good summer for peaches in this part of the world too- I just ate one for an afternoon snack. I've never made a peach pie though, that sounds delicious!

    I love peach pie. When I stopped at the farm stand on Friday, they still didn't have local peaches, just some shipped in from PA. Love the Starbucks greeting. Just like Cheers, where everyone knows your name (and favorite brew). We've got bunnies, too. They are cute when they stay in the grass and out of the garden.
