Triple Digits

and the clouds are melting.

Even the water lily hides under its own leafs.

The native fish in my water garden may be cooking.

The statues are sweating.

I believe the bottle tree may be melting

or wilting...which would it be?

The tiny Japanese lilies still smile no matter how hot it is.

A Redesign

I can't help it!  I can't do one thing and be done.  Remembered when I moved my bottle tree?  (Making room for my dragon) Well, I didn't like it after it was moved so I added some limbs, gathered some more bottles, dynamite wire, soldering wire, glitter, and paint

Instead  of hanging the bottles upside down, as is standard, I turned mine right side up but not before some changes. 

I covered the opening with foil to avoid paper wasp building and water standing.  I added paint and glitter inside the bottle.  The bottle chose its own look by the way the paint ran. The glitter is very sparkly in the sunshine.

The tops were wrapped in soldering wire or dynamite wire for hanging.  The soldering wire is very easy to bend and adds some shine to the look.  The dynamite wire is thinner and plastic coated.

I added my holey rocks or Crone Stones or Fairy Rocks...whatever you prefer.  Legend is you can look through these holes and see the fairies in their realm.

No bottle washing for me.

That will be up to Mother Nature.

The top bottle is soldering wire, the bottom dynamite.

Even Hubby asked how those bottles turned that color!

I added Dad's spark plugs since I had a bucket full from cleaning his shop.

I think it's an improvement.

I may change it again tomorrow.

Playing Outside

Moved my rain gauge

Finished my designer end table

Stared up into the pecan trees

Got my pyro fix

Moved my little bottle tree but searching for a more suitable tree. 

Helped repair the shop door and called it quits for the day.
