CLEANED THE KOI POND

THIS WEEKEND CLEANED THE KOI POND WITH MY HUSBAND. THIS WARM WEATHER HAS CAUSED THE FISH TO HIDE AT THE BOTTOM WHERE IT IS A LITTLE COOLER. THE WATER LILIES ARE GOING CRAZY---THEY SEEM TO ENJOY THE HEAT. IT IS A YUCKY JOB---WE HAVE THIS KINDA VACUUM THAT ATTACHES TO THE GARDEN HOSE AND THEN SUCKS OUT THE MUCK AND SENDS IT SHOOTING OUT ANOTHER HOSE. MY HUSBAND OPERATES THE VACUUM AND I’M IN CHARGE OF DIRECTING THE FLOW OF YUCKY WATER TO WATER THE LAWN. WELL---AFTER TURNING THE WATER ON---THE HOSE WENT CRAZY AND SPRAYED ME WITH THIS SMELLY ---MURKY POND WATER. A GOOD TIME WAS NOT HAD BY ALL. SO GLAD THE JOB IS OVER---WE DO IT ONCE A MONTH----THE FISH ARE HAPPY-----AND I AM SHOWERED AND HAPPY.

ANOTHER DAY IN DALE'S GARDEN

PICKED THE BIGGEST HEAD OF BROCCOLI YESTERDAY—IT’S A NEW VARIETY THAT GROWS WELL IN THE HEAT OF THE DESERT.

ONE OF THE WATERMELONS LOOKS RIPE---BUT I’VE BEEN FOOLED BEFORE AND CUT OPEN A MELON TO FIND IT HADN’T EVEN TURNED COLOR. IF I DECIDE TO PICK IT I’LL POST THE RESULTS.

THE PURPLE AND WHITE COLUMBINE HAS PRODUCED SEEDS WHICH I SCATTERED IN THE BACK GARDEN.

ROXI AND JELI ARE MY TWO HAVANESE GIRLS---THIS MORNING ROXI WAS EATING GRASS---I GUESS I HAVE BARF CLEANUP TO LOOK FORWARD TO !!!!

THE PLUMERIA IS SUCH A DEEP CREAMY YELLOW WITH AN ENCHANTING FRAGRANCE. GIVEN TO ME BY A FRIEND----IT WAS SENT TO HER FROM FLORIDA ( A BOX CONTAINING PIECES OF PLUMERIA) RESCUED FROM HURRICANE RITA. IT IS A JOY TO SEE SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL RESTORED AND ALIVE.

THE DAYLILLIES ARE BEAUTIFUL THIS TIME OF YEAR---THEY ARE SUCH HAPPY FLOWERS---WISH I COULD GET THEM TO PRODUCE MORE BLOOMS---ANY SUGGESTIONS?

CHECK OUT THE MOSQUITO FISH ON THE LILLY PAD---THEY ARE WONDERFUL TO CONTROL THE MOSQUITO POPULATION.

MYSTERY IN THE KOI POND

THE KOI POND IS BEAUTIFUL THIS TIME OF YEAR. THERE ARE SO MANY WATER LILLIES BLOOMING. THE COLOR IS SPECTACULAR--PURPLE, YELLOW AND PINK. EVERYTHING IS GROWING AND HEALTHY. HOWEVER I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE OF MY KOI IN ALMOST A WEEK. SPECKLE ( WHITE WITH BLACK DOTS AND A LIGHT ORANGE FACE) HASN'T COME TO FEED OR GATHER AROUND THE SURFACE OF THE WATER WHERE THE FRESH WATER COMES IN. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY EVIDENCE OF PREDITORS OR ILLNESS. I'M TRYING TO BE POSITIVE AND HOPE THAT SPECKLE APPEARS SOON.
