Amazing Glass and Metal Wind Ornament
I think this metal and glass lawn sculpture is amazing..stainless steel bowls and martini glasses make up the decorative elements, and some recycled pipes and fittings hold it all together. It stands about 6 feet tall and I'm sure it must make some interesting sounds when the wind blows.

Curb Appeal!
This corner of Park and West Acre was an eyesore for many years, but someone recently purchased the duplex, fixed up the homes and re-landscaped the yard. Congratulations to the owners...much more appealing!

Sidewalk repairs on Reuter Drive
The folks living in the old Elkhorn Village area of West Sacramento are thrilled about the repairs on the gutters, sidewalks and curbs. Hopefully the streets will also be scheduled for repaving soon..riding a bicycle is a pretty dangerous undertaking for young kids and seniors in the condition they are right now. See photo below.
