Blue Monday

Thanks to Sweet Sally at Smiling Sally's Blog we all get to participate in Blue Monday!

Today for Blue Monday I thought I would show a few blue things at my vacation home on the River in Parker, Arizona that I haven't showed before. We just got back yesterday from spending 8 days there and it was wonderful!

This is a really pretty china angel heart plate I have hanging on the wall that has blue in it. The plate was given to me as a gift from a friend when I had a brain tumor removed 16 years ago. She told me it was my guardian angel that was to watch over me during my surgery. It sure watched over me during those times and now I have it hanging in our vacation home to watch over all our friends and family as they play in the river.

I also love to collect old blue enamel ladles and spoons. Here are just a few. They had a huge tube float at the river where thousands of people participated in it. We just sat on our deck and watched all the drunk crazies go by. I snapped this picture of some of the floaters. Do you notice how blue their tubes and umbrellas are??

Bloomin' Tuesday

Today is Bloomin' Tuesday over at Ms Jean's Blog. I love to share what I have growing in my garden every Tuesday.

Some of my Hydrangeas are starting to bloom.


Last November, I posted how to cut a stick from a Hydrangea plant and stick it in the ground to make another plant. This is the stick that I used in that post. Only 5 1/2 months ago and look how pretty the plant is already with a huge pink bloom! I love Lobella with its very pretty blue color. I have one area that I have big rocks, and every year the Lobella come back by the seeds it drops from the previous year. The area is shaded in the afternoon under a tree.

I have an area just dedicated to my giant Shasta Daisies. They come back year after year.
This rose is called Show Biz. I have 9 of them as rose trees and they line one of my walkways in the yard. Their color is just stunning.
This plant is called Matiliya Poppy. The flowers are very big about 5 to 6" across and their pedals are paper thin and white in color with a huge orange center. The bush grows about 6 feet tall and it is covered with these pretty flowers.

The whole time I have been walking around my yard, Charlie the Turtle has been following me just hoping for some veggies. I am so glad he is out of hibernation. He makes such a sweet addition to the garden.

Blue Monday - Happy Memorial Day

Today is Blue Monday over at Smiling Sally's Blog.

How fitting today on Memorial Day that we all post pictures of the red, white and blue.Memorial Day seems to be the only time throughout the year that the whole nation is united in the gratitude to the men and women in the Armed Services.

This is a day to remember those who paid for our freedom

To remember those that still bear the pain of warTo mourn with those that have lost a loved one
I am truly grateful for the men and women in the Armed Services in the past, present and future. May God keep you and your families safe.

Snake in the Koi Pond - Yipes!

Lately something has been turning my Koi Pond upside down. My husband and I went to our river vacation home for 4 days so I thought while I was gone, I would put this net on one side of the pond. It's so easy to get tangled up in it, so I thought it would deter the animals away.

So this morning when I walked up to the Koi pond and found it in disarray again, with plants turned on their side, my floating alligator upside down, etc. I was very much disappointed. So when Buck the Rottweiler started alerting me there is something in the bog, I immediately took notice...or maybe it was when I heard the loud hissing? I found one very mad aggravated snake with its head caught up in the net.

As I was jumping up and down like a crazy person screaming to my husband to "kill it", he started to argue with me that it's a "nice" snake. I'm sorry, it's a snake, the only good snake is a dead one. Yep, I won that argument! And Buck got to stay in the air conditioned house for the afternoon.

Blooming Tuesday - Color Curb Appeal

Today for Bloomin' Tuesday I thought I would show some plants in our front yard.

Our front yard is almost 3/4 of an acre. I wanted to give it some color curb appeal so this past week I have been working on adding some Petunias around some of the trees. I first added a rock planter around each tree, then I added different colored Petunias.

Petunias here in Southern California will last from Spring through Winter!

Here is a shot of some Bottle Brush bushes in the distance. They are bright red and they add so much color in the front yard. Here are some close up shots of those bottle brush blooms!

Here is a Cactus plant that has the prettiest blooms on it. It hides behind 3 of our Palm Trees in the front yard. I am not a Cactus fan, but this bloom is the only reason why this cactus plant still is there!

Under our Ash Tree we have an area of Coreopsis growing I have to show you a picture of this Ash Tree. It is so big that I cannot capture it in a picture. It sits in the middle of our front yard. It is over 200 years old and is over 100 feet tall and 45 feet wide. We had to hire a special tree guy, an Arborist to come out and trim the tree.

Here is a picture of a pink planter that needs a plant in it!
I think this is so cute. My niece Amber was asked to the Prom. Her potential date asked her by spelling out PROM? on her front lawn with Pink Rose Pedals. My sister snapped this picture before the wind blew them away and sent it to me.

Show & Tell Friday - Coca Cola Barbie Bedroom

Today is Show and Tell Friday over at Kelli's House, There's No Place Like Home. I haven't participated in awhile, so today I thought I would join in the fun.

For Show and Tell Friday I thought I would show pictures of one of my guest bedrooms at my vacation home on the Colorado River in Parker, Arizona. Each room has a theme and this room is decorated in Coca Cola memorabilia and Coca Cola Barbies.

The whole room is done in red and white

Throughout the room I have every Coca Cola Barbie and Ken that has been made. Each one is still in their original box and has never been openedIn the 70s Coca Cola came out with their own doll and clothing line, and I have almost every one of themI also have several vintage Coca Cola Trays and signs hanging on the walls tooI took an old Coca Cola crate and hung it on the wall and put in each slot Matchbox Coca Cola collector carsWe refer to this room as if it was on the corner of Coca Cola Court and Barbie Doll Blvd.

This is a pretty China Blue Duck that I have at our River Vacation Home on the Colorado River.
The weather there was so nice last weekend when we went there. Here is a picture of the Parker Dam holding Lake Havasu. Look at that pretty blue water! The weather was so nice in the upper 90's. I took this picture from our boat when we cruised up there.
Here is one of our hood ornaments on the boat. He is right now on the look out for ducks and it takes two of us to hold him back from jumping into that pretty blue water!

Today is Pink Saturday and I love to join in the fun every Saturday.

Today I am going to show you something I put together for my coffee table and it's PINK!

I was at Home Goods the other day and I saw this tall glass dish on a pedestal with scalloped edges and I heard it calling me. Here it is empty.....

I then went out into my garden and picked some pink and white roses. I filled the bowl with water and gently put cut fresh roses into the water. Isn't it beautiful?

Here is a close up of the roses from another side. Every time I walk into the room I can smell the roses! For more Pink Saturday posts, please go visit our wonderful hostess, Beverly at How Sweet the Sound!

Blue Monday - Vintage Hand Towel

Today for Blue Monday I am going to show some pictures of a embroidered Vintage Hand Towel with a Blue Bird on it.
This Hand Towel is very old, and its all stained yellow with age, but what makes this piece so special to me is that this is the first piece that my Mom ever embroidered when she was a teenager.

I would love to take the yellow out of this, so if anyone can give me a tip on doing so without taking away any of the color in the embroidery threads, please let me know.

Bloomin' Tuesday - The last day of March


Today is Bloomin' Tuesday over at Ms Green Thumb Jean's Blog. We all join in and show what is blooming in our garden today.

My yard is so alive with many blooms. The weather here in Southern California has been wonderful. I feel so bad for those of you that are still having snow. All these pictures were taken today in my garden.

In my patio I have pots of these Osteospermums or African Daisies on each side of the stairs. They bloom all summer long. In the winter I just trim them back and they come back with pretty blooms in spring.
My husband bought me these purple Hydrangeas. I have never seen them in purple before. I think they look so pretty with the pink, red and white cyclamens.
Here is a close up of that purple Hydrangea flower. Its more of a purple color than a blue one.
Here is a white flowering peach tree I have in bloom. Yum, I can't wait for the peaches!

I planted these maroon colored double bearded Iris last year. They are blooming this year. They are so dark in color. I think they looked better in the picture on the package when I bought them.

Here are some red Gerber Daisies and red Petunias in an area with some of my homemade Mosaic stepping stones.

This rose bush is called Betty Boop.

This Rose bush is called St Patrick's

This Rose Bush is called Hot Shot

I have over 150 rose bushes throughout my 3 acre yard. I feed them every March, June and September. In January I cut them all back and the cycle starts over again.

This Rose Bush is called Double Delight. (a very popular rose bush)

My Cymbidiums are blooming too. I keep them in my patio area all year long. They are from the orchid family. They bloom every spring and all the rest of the months they stay green. You can bring them inside your home too when they are in bloom. Their flowers last a long time. I like to cut some of the flowers and float them in a glass dish in one of my guest bedrooms. As long as you change the water often, they will last a month!For more Bloomin' Tuesday posts, please go visit Jean at Ms Green Thumb Jean's Blog!

Today is Vintage Thingie Thursday over at Suzanne's Colorado Lady Blog. Don't forget to go visit her too!

I thought I would show you something I keep displayed in my Kitchen. This is a Vintage Betty Crocker's Cook Book. My Mom gave it to me. She told me she bought it in 1946. The cover is starting to separate a little because of its age, but the recipes in it are wonderful!

Let's open it, and see some of the wonderful stuff inside!

This cookbook is over 63 years old! Just the thought that my sweet Mom used this book when she was a newlywed just learning how to cook just makes me smile! The cookie recipes in this book are so great that I still use some of them today!

Bloomin' Tuesday - Upside Down Hanging Tomato Plants

Today for Bloomin' Tuesday I thought I would show you something I made yesterday for my patio. It's two tomato plants in a hanging basket and one is upside down! If you haven't tried this yet, you have to this year. It not only keeps the bugs away from your tomatoes but also all the animals that come and eat them before you have a chance to pick them!
I first bought a really inexpensive plastic hanging pot with chain. It was only around $3 which is great compared to these companies that sell these so call special tomato hanging pots for a high price.

I then drilled a one inch hole in the bottom of the pot


Then I added some black material fiber in the bottom. I also cut a X in the material so that the roots can fit through it. This black material fiber is the black paper you can buy to suppress weeds. This will hold back the dirt so that it doesn't drain out your hole! This is really important to add!

Then I stuck through the bottom hole the tomato plant


Once your plant is in place, start filling with dirt. I also planted another one on the top
Here is the finished pot filled with two different kinds of tomato plants. You can also do this to squash or cucumbers too! I have also seen the hanging pots with tomatoes on the bottom and herbs on top!

Here is a picture of a hanging tomato plant in a basket. Doesn't it look great??

Vintage Thingie Thursday - Hen Salt & Pepper Set

Today for Vintage Thingie Thursday I thought I would show you this cute vintage Hen Salt and Pepper Shaker I bought the other day when I was visiting antique shops in Old Towne Temecula. I collect chickens, roosters and hens in my kitchen so when I saw this cute little hen sitting there calling my name I immediately picked it up!

To my surprise, when you pick up the top half, the bottom half is two eggs sitting on the nest which are salt and pepper shakers! I went crazy when I saw it and this little vintage thingie just had to come home with me!

Bloomin' Tuesday

For Bloomin' Tuesday today I thought I would show some spring flowers that are starting to bloom in my garden.

These bulb flowers are called Ranunculus. They bloom only for 2 months in the spring. They come in different colors. This is an area in my garden where I have them growing.

My Wisteria Vines are just starting to bloom. In about one month, my patio area will be covered with these great smelling purple flowers.

These are some white lilies that bloom every spring

Here is a pretty bright daisy bush with vibrant orange ice plant next to it. It makes a great bright color combination in the garden

This is a daisy bush that I have. You cannot tell in this picture, but the daisy bush is at least 4 feet round! It looks so pretty!For more bloomin' tuesday posts, please go visit Jean at MsGreenThumb Jean's Blog!
