Thank you, it's the Plumeria. It's now my background on the desktop and looking lovely.

Default Things around the little pond

A mossy rock and Chinese ground orchid (Bletilla) breaking the ground. The Bletilla will bloom into dainty purple pink orchid like flowers. Spring is here and it can't be stopped.

Default Country Ham ?

Isn't that Spanish ham similar to country ham except it is sliced paper thin?

That is quite a bit of wire; is it from your job/work? People steal wire around here to burn for copper, I think is the metal, to sell. Not saying you stole it.

I have tons of wire I use for work I collected from leftovers from other jobs that are finished.
This wire was left over from a job I did well over a year ago.
I have done entire jobs without needing to buy more wire fittings conduit or anything else.
I haul anything of value from job sites.
The GC's are more than happy to see me carry it off.

Some time ago while on a raid with Attila I acquired these glass blocks in the frames while destroying the castle.
Took some time but I'm getting around to cutting the things out of the aluminum frames.
Two frames 56 blocks total.
New value $272.72.
Was going to toss the frames.
Each square hole is 3" deep x 8" square.
So I got an idea, what is that idea?

No guesses and I'm ready to spill the beans.
If you place the frames back to back a 2X4 fits perfectly.
This in turn will make a nice sectioned off planting bed for what ever I choose like Romain lettuce or something.
Legs maybe to keep it off the ground.
Got that stuff here too.
Cubic inches are 384 or 1.6 gallon per section.
More than enough for a small plant.
Now what to do with these glass blocks.

When I saw the frame I thought night garden bed or Gigi would turn that thing into a shadow box in a flash, lol!
