Día de Los Muertos

Inspired by Dia de Los Muertos "Day of the Dead"

 

 

 

 

 

 

This clock and a few other mosaic items can be found at Bohemia in Tucson, AZ.

Bohemia is a fabulous Artist Emporium and the owner Tana is AWESOME!! If you are in the area, you've got to check out this store.

Busy as a Bee

So sorry to be gone so long. I have truly been as busy as a bee.

 

Speaking of bees........

 

Recently while fishing with the hubby on our boat, I was stung by a bee in the armpit! Yes, I said armpit!!! I'm not sure what hurt more. The bee sting or the flogging I received from the hubby as he attempted to beat the other bees off of my back with his hat. Sheesh! We were fishing in a canyon and I'm thinking there must have been a hive close by. Not sure why they decided to attack me and not the hubby. Don't they know that I am their friend??? If they spoke to their cousins that live in our yard, they would know that I am very peaceful to the bees and provide lots of food for them. They would also know that it is the hubby that killed an entire colony of Africanized bees that decided to make their home in our yard. I wanted them out of the yard, but I hated that they had to die.

 It has been a crazy season for bees here in the desert. They just had a write up about it in the paper. They can be quite aggressive and have caused a few deaths over the years.  

Switching subjects big time here.....

I have started a new blog. It is a Garden blog. For those of you who could really care less about my yard projects and gardening endeavors, those projects will no longer be on this blog. However, those of you that love gardening like I do, come on over and visit me at Mosaic Cottage Gardens! It is currently on blogspot and I hope to move it to Typepad in the near future. It's just that Typepad can be soooooo non-user friendly!!! I feel like I need a computer degree to figure it out sometimes and I don't want to spend an entire day on the computer doing this. I have projects waiting for me!

Anyway, back to work I go. My break is over. I hope you are all having a wonderful summer and not baking to death like we in the desert are!

Hugs!

She's Late....She's Late......

Better late than never, I always say.

The Queen of Hearts has finally shown up for the carnival. She apologizes for the delay, but she had to

pick up a couple of extra passengers along the way.

  

  

It's a good thing the Queen has a nice big tricycle with a basket, as that is where Cheshire Cat hung out for the long trip.

 

The caterpillar hitched his wagon to the Queen's trike and smoked his hookah while he enjoyed the ride.

 

 

All of that pedaling the Queen had to do, but she looks happy to have finally made it to the carnival!

 

They had better enjoy this carnival while they can, as it is supposed to be a toasty 116 degrees this weekend!!!  (ugh!)
