Good afternoon.
Just got back from my afternoon walk. Here's something I saw.....
The first cactus in bloom! They are so pretty and huge compared to the size of the plant! And as you can see, this little cactus is loaded with blooms! The cactus itself is probably 1 1/2 ft tall.
Also today, I baked another blueberry pie.....
I used frozen wild blueberries. I saw on TV that wild blueberries are suppose to be much better for you than regular blueberries. We'll see what it tastes like. The berries are much smaller, so the pie should be nice and thick.
Yesterday, we went to Siegels 1941 steakhouse at the El Cortez hotel/casino down on Fremont street.
Food was very good! Then we went over to Container Park at the one end of Fremont St.
They have this giant praying Mantis that shoots flames out it's mouth at night.
This area is all made up from actual shipping containers. They have shops, restaurants and bars scattered throughout the space along with sitting areas and play areas for children.
The ladies in the pics are neighbors we went there with.Then we wandered down Fremont street for a little people watching. A nice afternoon.
And summer is here. Highs this week in the low 80's. :-)
I've watched a show that I can't remember the name of, that made a gorgeous off-grid house from shipping containers.
ReplyDeleteWe've thought of buying one to use for storage and such.
Cactus blooms are always pretty.
