Fun things to do above the A/C units and other yard art

We had built this really cool looking arbor of sorts to help shade our A/C units and thought it looked interesting to have these old keys hang down off chain and blow around in the breeze the A/C unit creates.

The image on the right is a very HEAVY piece of water irrigation pipe from a very old farm here in Arizona. We are thinking of different  plants or cacti to put in it, but so far are undecieded. Gotta love the sleeping sombero wearing man in front of a cactus!!!

Cactus photo

I wanted to show you a image of some really cool cactus growing in our yard. Not sure the type of cactus,it was given to us as a gift, however they are very neat!

There are two of the stalk looking cactus. When we received them that's all they were; two stick looking things...They soon grew the off shoots on the sides and the large one has even produced us a beautiful white flower that lasted for only about 1 day. It looked awesome next to that metal flower we have in the pot!

I have plans on cutting off the side growth and replanting them along a wall. I have been told they can get very large, very fast! We'll see!

Cool though, right!?!
