Revisiting the barnacle

Last week was pretty dull, but hopefully things are looking up.

Everyone at work has been sick during the past month.

I missed a good sunset walk on my day off, the 29th, because I felt like napping.

I'm doing everything I can to not catch whatever it is.

To make things worse, we heard our former pastor was accused of abusing a child 25 years ago.

We don't know much more about it, than that.

Everyone's mood has been gloomy and tense.

After work this Sunday, I went to the pier.

The forecast seemed to suggest that the weather would be wild and exciting.

It was not exciting. It was cold and gray.

I didn't stay long, just walked to the end of the pier to get my exercise.

Today, after work, I noticed the days are getting longer.

I was motivated to work on a project from a few weeks ago.

I had saved these succulents from being thrown out by the gardener at the office.

They ended up being just the right plant, to put into my barnacle-planter.

This is the barnacle, 2 weeks ago. I had glued these fake succulents to it:

For substrate, I stuffed the holes with moss:

The plan is that the moss will hold the stems in place, and keep moist:

Here's another view. 

Not sure if the plants will live or just rot, but at least it's finished!
