Snugglers

Mo has been going up to Eva and putting his head down so she can lick him. He was trying to get her to do that today, but she wasn't interested. They have really been getting along well lately and are almost snuggling.

Seashell Topiary

I've collected a bunch of seashells over the years, although most are from my childhood. I've been keeping the piled in a pot, but of course you can't see them all. I decided to turn them into a topiary. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I need to stabilize it a bit more, but I think it looks cool. I only burned 3 fingers touching the hot glue!

Flower bed

Wow...this was a lot of work for Tony! :-) We finally dug around the flower bed to add an edge and place rocks around it. It was backbreaking work to dig through clay and rock to get down 4"! Anyway--I think it looks nice, and Tony figures he burned about 800 calories.

Vacation

We headed off to the Big Island for a lovely 8 day trip. Since we didn't see the whole island last time, we decided to do the full circuit. We flew into Hilo and headed up to Waimea to see Mauna Kea, then drove back around to Hilo, the volcano and to Kona. It was a bit too much hopping around, but fun to see all the island. We loved going back up to Mauna Kea for astronomy stuff, and it was fun to see more activity at the volcano. And of course relaxing at the beach in Kona and snorkeling was fabulous.
