Garden Update: July 15

Okay well Leo and I have been working on some painting! "Painting? Painting upon what?" you ask. Well Garden Director Becki Schreiber bought some pretty cool, basic wooden benches for us to start our project.
More specifically, Leo is coordinating some kids from the recreational ("rec") camp at which he works to come down to the garden and paint these benches with flowery designs and what not. Before the kids do that though, Leo and I had to prime the benches with white paint, and then add a base color. I'm excited! Gotta admit it's going to be fun coordinating kids to some functional art. Painting does, indeed, happen to be a hobby of mine, so we'll see what happens.

Additionally, the bridge street duo are painting an introductory sign to be posted at the entrance of the garden. Leo's ma, Sheri, found this truly interesting sign at the dump...
Strange, one might say. I am a driving force to keep the angel flying at the top; for now, we've primed all but the wing-ed figure. Here's an idea: a speech bubble coming out of the angel's trumpet. How about "abandon all hunger ye who enter here"?

Considering that to be slightly lame, any other ideas are more than welcome.
