Potpourri

• Here are a selection of snapshots of our last week's adventures and accomplishments.
  The first photo is of our new yard light. We put this in at the end of the walk that goes to our parking area at the back of our lot. The post is an old wood porch post that had been broken off near the top, which made it perfect for this use. I had to run 100 feet of direct bury electric cable down the hill from the house to this spot. Now when you turn the back porch light on, this light comes on too.
  The second photo is of the new skirting I am building for the back porch. I am making this out of 3" wide cedar planks that I got with all that other lumber several weeks ago. I spent most of today making these two sections.
  The third photo is an action shot of me at our pharmacy building on Monday. We have now torn off all of the shed addition that we can until the gas meter, which is attached to it, gets relocated. Hopefully that will happen next week.
  The last photo is of me in front of the largest horseshoe crab in Ohio (and maybe the world). We have seen this several times while driving thru Blanchester OH on our way to Georgetown, and finally stopped to check it out. Originally it was built for an aquarium on the east coast, but somehow it ended up in front of a little church that uses it as a shelter for weddings and parties - the entrance is underneath the tail.
