Quite a while since I last added to our blog, a lot has happened since then, Super Bowl Party, Valentines Day Party, Cosmo Party, and many Happy Hour gatherings.

 

I found a broken Helmet Shell with a resident octopus - I tucked the occupied shell into a nook under a rock.

 

We had a "Burger Bar" for the Super Bowl with delicious Wagyu Beef burgers and a whole lot of "fixins" (tomato, onion, bacon, avocado, lettuce, cheeses, blue cheese sauce, etc)

 

New and old (long time) friends

Laying out the lines for painting the new "Toad Wall"

 

Getting there .......

And ..........   DONE ! !

 

I wanted to put a brace under this palm to stop it from sagging lower, so ended up with 2 attached benches to disguise the support. Vertical pieces are from floor joists of the old building and the slats are from the flooring - all salvaged from the remains.     :-)
