Ray & Shelly at The Buoy restaurant!

The very best seafood bisque either of us have ever had. Great people and service too!

The lounge sports a couple of inverted dinghies aloft.

The origins of this restaurant are pictured on the wall.

Orange & Yellow

Fiber Optic line flagged last week. (Before the Natural Gas line getting installed next to it today.)

Orange=existing Fiber Optic

Yellow=New Natural Gas going in today.

Both are right under our 14 foot raised plant masonry bed, corner of Euclid and Appleton.

These fellows are also dealing with WATER lines and the OLD natural gas pipe, and ATT also has cable in this intersection!

4” feeder going in under our lawn and thru our 14 foot circle.

Our irrigation system kicks in on schedule.

A sunrise combines with a sprinkler to form a rainbow every minute or so.

Shelly brings some old solar-powered lanterns back to life.

A new compass rose ornament casts its shadow on its new exterior wall on the south side of the house. It’ll get mounted with offset hardware so the shadow can continue to enchant the observer.
