		Oh wow!  How long did you have to wait to get the right butterflies to land?
 And the stairs look so cool with the pictures on them.

		The butterflies look amazing - I can't imagine how long it took to get that picture.
 Also: the stair decos look brilliant!

		Thanks everyone!  The stairs turned out pretty nicely, but I'll have to put some more  double-sided tape on them... which makes me hesitate to get a wall decal that I was also considering for there.

Well, again, they'd just hatched and weren't ready to fly, so they hadn't had their first flights yet.  When we were done I put them back on their sticks on the picnic table to take off when they were ready.
 
It was 17 degrees in the sun today, WOOT.  So with the sun reflecting off the back of the house it was really nice on the porch.  It was a bikini day! and Daesani & I are making the most of the remaining nice weather.  (Meanwhile, a friend in Ontario has snow    )  So, for all I bitch about the climate, it could be a lot worse.

		17 degrees... Celsius, I presume. Using that scale, we hit 20 here! And no wind! Woo hoo!
 Nice deck. Nice Adirondack chair! Did your dollies build the deck and the chair? Or do they just use the deck and the chair on days like today?
 
 Can you see the ocean from your deck or from your house?
 
 Those aviator shades are boss awesome!
 
They're not dolls, they're action figures!

 ...nope, they're not into building stuff that much... most of the crew wasn't here when the deck was built, and the chair was a gift from Offgenemi.   
Could see the water from the roof or a glimpse from the unfinished attic, but no, not from the livable part of the house.  It's only 10 minutes' walk down the road though. 
We're glad you like the shades     (10-16-2019, 03:51 PM)Elfy Wrote:  Lovely summery pic. Hope to be doing some of that on our deck soon. Lucky you...  enjoy!

 Haha, it's funny; I actually don't like coffee.  I just saw the quote and thought it was fun.  I like the smell, (at least of regular coffee but not some of those weird gourmet flavours that smell like boiled socks    ) but not the taste.

		Victor, a veteran, yet he still has so much to learn. He reminds me a bit of an old Hobbes.

		Hee hee! Victor certainly appears seriously concerned! I wonder if he believes what Sunsette is telling him?

		Poor victor, he does look very concerned.  Either by the box, or whatever Sunsette is telling him about it.

		Hehe, thanks, everyone!      (10-26-2019, 11:00 AM)Elfy Wrote:  Victor, a veteran, yet he still has so much to learn. He reminds me a bit of an old Hobbes. Aw, Victor is very flattered.      We love Calvin & Hobbes.  I could just about do that sort of thing with him; he's so big. 
And seriously though, who's ever heard of "tigernuts"??  I hadn't...

Doubleheader this week... 
Way too much to do this week, hampered by falling down the stairs & wrenching my ankle... hope I can walk tomorrow.  But crammed pumpkin-day in yesterday. 
Happy Dolloween everyone!
