Memorial Day Weekend My Little Garden Zoo Is Open For The Season

Which, of course, technically means nothing.  It's just fun to have an official opening weekend!  On Friday, two more habitats and species were added, creating an opening day with 66 species in 59 habitats.  Does this mean that the will be no more species added?  Well not exactly.  I still have one large container that over-winters on the deck to restore, and a handful of smaller containers that I can potentially call into service.  It's one of my summer distractions.
