plant that was removed in the renovation.
Adam called the old large Agave “Benito,” a
tribute to his grandfather. A large bright green
succulent sits in a tractor disk that was also
discovered in the renovation of the yard. The
yard is filled with quirky sculpted figures:
the large gecko on the fence, the Mariachi
serenading the gathering and the iron prickly
pear cactus. Near the back door is a souvenir
of their trip to Cuba...an old license plate.
The sturdy gate leading to the front was made
from old wood salvaged from Gallo Winery.
