But here on the Anvil of the Sun Summer starts on April 1st, so we have 11 days for outdoor entertainment. I have been doing some upgrade work to the Headhunter Harbor. I had made a Headhunter mosaic end table several months ago so I made a matching one. I had some outdoor wireless speakers that worked well but they were black shiny plastic and didn't blend in well. I built some covers for them with wood frames and fabric sides to allow the sound to come out, they fit just right under the tables. Because the tiles around the headhunters are glass, I figured some uplighting under the tables would be cool so I made a place on top of the speaker covers for some LED "hockey puck" lights. The propane fire pit on my Guardians of the Flame table went bad and I couldn't find a suitable replacement. The hole in the table was specifically made for this fire pit so I salvaged the metal bowl and made a 3 wick Tiki torch out of copper pipe fittings, a piece of old road sign, and a Mason jar. It’s makes a nice small bonfire flame. Picked up a cheesy plastic flamingo at Lowes and repainted it to look a bit more realistic. I also redid my "fish condo". The support for the upside down vase was a piece of PVC pipe but it was very visible. I replaced it with a clear acrylic support that looks much better A bit of jungle trimming and some fresh flowers planted, I'm ready for my brief window of opportunity :)
