The Fountain Gurgles Again!

April 19th, 2009 · 9 Comments

fountainspring The Fountain Gurgles Again! 

The sun is out (May I hear an Amen!). My coffepot is yielding no more of its pricey brew. Boz and Gracie are resting on the sofa after an early morning of intense begging and need for post-Easter ham scraps. The day and to-do list are before me. While I strive to accomplish several (make that many, many) things, gratification comes in the simple action of being able to mark off just one task as complete. Yesterday it was the fountain–an all day affair. But after a winter of silence, brought on by a defunct pump and my aversion to yearly maintenance, the fountain lives! Yes, we have gurgle.  One task down, 572 to go.

Garden fountain or world’s fanciest water dish for dogs?

    Oh your garden looks so beautiful – the daffy’s & GREEN grass. See what the rain brings? Here in the desert it’s brown, brown and brown. Had a dust devil land in the back yard yesterday & I’m still looking for the pillows it took away when it left. Don’t suppose you’d trade, would you?

    Quite tempting June, but I’ll take a raincheck (literally). ;-)

    Love your fountain. I don’t suppose you have a favorite fountain shop in Seattle? I’ve been looking around at Swanson’s but haven’t seen anything just yet that jumped out at me.

    Hi Annette, it may take a couple days, but I’d be happy to show you how I made mine through a blog entry. It’s so easy, the cover of my fountain will be blown. I hope to post it this weekend.
