Just returned from a lovely spring at our Hotel California, a casita provided me by long-time friend and employee, Hai Dang. The annual sojourns always involve some fun construction projects, the latest there is another nail salon for his enterprising wife, already the master of a very successful one near by.
He's learned the Japanese art of Komiko and has substituted the laborious intricacies with a smart laser cutter that takes direction from software, and not a shop master. The resulting panels are spectacular and truly will make the new salon a one-of-a-kind enterprise.
Equally spectacular is nature's handiwork on the front porch, and I arrived just in time to see it in its full glory, and present it here.
And now for our own spring entrance, scheduled to appear shortly. C'mon already.
