Parley View Parsnip. . . just a weekend

Just a weekend, nothing special.
Everyday stuff.

.
 Of course any weekend begins with a trip to the vet
for thehamish.
.

 Here is what thehamish has to have two times a day, after eating.
Everyday morning and evening  no days off.
The small pill bottle on the very right are Watson's.
.

 Sometimes I find a pill that someone (thehamish) has spit out.
Naughty naughty naughty.
.

 My much needed headache pills
.

 Along with all the pills I take everyday.
Maybe thehamish and I have the same problems
or
maybe having the hamish is the problem ?
yert !
.

 Everyday no matter what.
le sigh
.

 Oh my goodness Sunday was only 98 !
Break out the sweaters.
Tomorrow back up to 105.
.

 My new walker (Italian) lalalaaaaa is a small tank and I love it.
The Watson is not so sure.
But I am, it is fabulous !
zoom zoom zoom !
.

 Working on a special project.
I keep getting new ideas and working out all the problems one runs into.
.
 

 Birds are always very interested in what is going on my side of the studio window,.
.


 Told thehamish to clean up his toys in the pool.
and yet...

 as you can see...
.

 here they still are.
.

Oh please.
I know this didn't come from the pool !
Your beard is dry.

......................................

Here is your pretty for the start of the week.

After the blooms, the Prickly Pear fruit appears.
Birds and all critters love to eat them.

Wednesday in Japan. . . phone charms

I posted sometime ago about phone charms.
And I was asked what are phone charms ?
Just a fun fad from Japan.
.
Old cell phones usually had a hoie on the top right side on the case.
What real reason it was here for I have np idea
but the phone charm craze in Japan was born.
Loop a small charm through the hole.
In fact in the height of the craze I remember seeing teen girls whip out their phone and they had so many charms and small stuffed animals that you couldn't see the phone.

Then the phones evolved and no space for a small hole.  The Japanese found another way to have more fun with the phones. Plugs that fit into the earphone jack.
Hello fun.
This craze is just about over in Japan but I still love it.
.

 I really need to straighten this up but here is some of my collection
phone charms, key rings plus some other stuff tossed in.
Oh My Goodness I am that crazy cat lady from down the street.
.
 I usually pick up one (or two maybe three) from most of the places I visit.
.
 Goodness, this is a mess.
.

 .

 Tokyo Tower... Sailor Moon was there a lot !
.

 Tako !
On the right of the giraffe there ia a tako (octopus) eating a 
little tako One of my favorites.
.
 Kumamom
.

 Moyasimon, Tales of Agriculture
Best manga ever.

 Astro Boy
Fabulous museum.
.

Moyasimon, funny TV series too.
.

 Hello Kitty Hanshin Tiger, my favorite Baseball team.
.

 Tokyo Tower, Osaka Tower and Mt. Fuji
.
 Takoyaki
Street food at it's best.
 Pretty soon my wall with look like this....
so much neater.
.

 What is so bad, is I have many of these.
.

 Here is one of my old phone with charms
.

 My phone today has a diamond ball in the earphone jack.
I have many others but that is for another post.

parley view parsnip. . . it is a kitchen sink kind of day !

Opps ! I hit the publish button instead of the save for Monday button !
This was suppose to be Mondays post.
.

What a weekend.
Hot so hot  to hot, I am used to Tucson summers but with no winter, 
the very little spring morphed into summer. 
Just one day HELLO,  I AM SUMMER  hear me roar !
.
As I write this Sunday evening the temperature is 93 at 8:30 pm.
Still hot air like a suffocating blanket you don't need and never want.
.
When we have these hot days with very little or no clouds (humidity)
 I call this the hot sunsets. The air even looks hot.
.
 .

 .

 My small fountain is a relief.
Visually and with the sound of water is very cooling.
In the morning Mrs Blanding (a morning dove) and several of her friends are usually waiting for me to turn on the fountain.
I swear they look towards my kitchen window. 
.
 .

 .

 .

 Some of my cactus near the fountain.
.
 .

 Cabana Boy Watson relaxing in the shade.
Some ice tea please.
.

 .

 hahahahaha no photobombing thehanish.
He just saw us when I stopped. To busy chasing lizards.
.


Here is your pretty to start the week.
a much cooler cloud photo from Friday.
.


. Now some answers to some comments.
.
 Waldie is the only dog in the pool for his rehabilitation.
.
 Watson loves to lay in the hot sun it is good for his arthritis.
But when it gets to hot (black Scotty) he will come inside to lay on the cool tile floor.
,
 This is the only water thehamish will play with.
.
 This is as close to the pool water that Watson will go.
.
And thehamish never falls in getting his floating toys.
I am glad they do not go in the pool because that would mean
a bath and wet dog smell everyday.

This lovely and wonderful  Lady is My Mother.
Today is her Birthday.
.
 No matter how old I get, I still miss my Mother.
.

 .

 .
I wrote a small tribute about my Mum several years ago.
One sweet note is her Great granddaughter Mia was born one day before her birthday.
I wish Mia would have been born on the same day. That would have been the best gift.
I know Mum would have loved that.
