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.

Pink Saturday - Mosaic Pink Clip

It's Saturday again over at Beverly's How Sweet the Sound.

My contribution to Pink Saturday today is this giant pink mosaic clothespin that I made.

I use it to hang up my husband's "honey do" list. (He hates it)

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.

Pink Saturday

Today is Pink Saturday over at Beverly's How Sweet the Sound.

Look how cute this little vintage pink planter is. It almost has a evil face to it!

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.

Blue Monday - River Blueness

Today is Blue Monday over at Smiling Sally's Blog. I always join her in the fun on Mondays!

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!

Pink Saturday - Pink Roses Centerpiece

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!
