I Like Thursday #266


It's time for Thursday likes! Please visit LeeAnna to find more blogs taking part in I Like Thursday. I kept hearing a weird noise while in my kitchen. Both cats came running and I saw them staring at this little guy! For some reason, this squirrel likes to climb the window screens in my eating area. He actually licks them!! I'm not sure why. I've noticed he comes a few times per day. I even caught him licking the vinyl siding. I suppose all species have their crazy members!!


I finished this cross stitch project last week also. I used rick rack but I need some other sort of trim. 
Any suggestions?? I used to like looking around JoAnn's but the one near me has been picked over. There's nothing worthwhile left. It's sad these stores are closing. I'm not sure where I can buy notions like these. Maybe Michael's?? I'm hoping some quilt shops add to their inventory.


This is my second attempt at Stanley Tucci's Zucchini Pasta. You can find the recipe here. This one seems a bit more authentic than the last one I tried. I made the zucchini this morning and will let it sit in the fridge all day. They recommend overnight but I forgot about making it last night. I have my cheese all ready to go! I can't wait to try it!!


Our prompt this week asks us what we wanted to be when we were children. I always wanted to be a teacher. However, at the time, teachers couldn't find jobs. It was always my dream to have my own classroom. I changed to pharmacist since I had volunteered at the local hospital and they put me in the pharmacy. It seemed like a good job and I was always interested in science. I think the favorite part of being a pharmacist was teaching the pharmacy students that rotated through our department. I guess I combined teaching with my pharmacy career as best as I could.

Have a wonderful weekend! I'm enjoying to see our snow melting. It's been a little bit warmer and it also rained. So nice to see grass again!!

  1. Your spring cross stitch is adorable. I've purchased various trims from Lady Dot Creates on Etsy. I've also heard good things about Purple Paper Mountain on Etsy but I haven't tried them yet.

  2. Squirrels are weird. Cute little cross stitch - I like the green border. There's actually a patch of green in our yard among all that white. There's hope!

    1. Haha, I think you're right about squirrels! I'm hoping we're done with the snow for the season.

  3. Adorable cross stitch piece, Rosemary. I'm hopeless at finishing so maybe someone else will have an idea. I think the squirrel may be finding something woody of interest to them as they love wood. I've seen a squirrel licking the wood frame on the garage doors and then a rabbit once too.
