Monsoon skies in Tucson Arizona

The amazing sunsets of our monsoon season just don't seem to quit. We've had some rain too which helps the cactus and other plants store up moisture for dryer times. I haven't played much with my new camera- being more comfortable with my little point and shoot, but I got it out the past couple nights and took these shots of the sunset.

Happy SkyWatch Friday! To join in yourself and to see the amazing views from around the world visit SkyWatch Friday.

A perfect Green Envy Zinnia and puppy dog tales

Remember those Green Envy Zinnias I planted? Well I have lots and lots of blooms but only ONE of them looks like a Zinnnia...and wouldn't you know the birds went and pulled the bloom right off the stem...I stuck it in the cactus wood for a picture since it really is the only one that looks like a Zinnia should look!


And a Bishops Cap bloom! I love this little plant- it always has a bloom in some stage or another.

Remember the little wash tub pond my son set up for my aquatic Canna?


Well I have bigger plans... I purchased a stock tank to turn into a pond...now to find the time to actually get it done!

It is always pretty entertaining just hanging out inside watching the pooches. Miss Blue Eye Moo Dog was one of these little babies not too long ago. We won't even go into how she came to live at my house when I already had more than enough furry friends, but she did and it has been quite interesting watching her grow up with the others. It wasn't too long ago she was just the same size as Miss P and look at her now. She may be about 5 times as big as Miss P but they are still the best of friends.
