Pele Gardens at Whimsy

For more than a year now the flats below the volcano Pele have been pretty much bare. This weekend, Sweetie got motivated, and we decorated them. They turned out beautifully.

We reworked the stream of water that descends from near the summit and changed the lava flow. A footpath now ascends the mountain.

Sweetie has set her mind on a defunct carnival ride. It seems the Whimsy Transportation Authority tried to develop a theme park on the flanks of the volcano Pele. They shut the program down after the 39th avatar was incinerated.

Why 39? Because 40 would have been too many.

Yes, Sweetie was on a creative mental rampage tonight. It had something to do with my getting a mammogram today. Don't ask.
