My DH made one from an old decorative hand pump,it's sitting in a galvanized tub,the one bigger than the foot tub size. And I bought a copper fountain a few years ago,it has a faucet on it that the water comes out of and drips into 2 smaller copper sections. And right now I'm looking for pieces parts to make a new fountain from a bird house. None of our fountains are quite finished yet,lol.

I had a couple of pink flamingos in my yard for awhile. I named them 'Tongue' and 'Cheek'. They finally died. I think of,embarrassment.

Wow that arbor was a steal!! I assume it's one of those heavy plastic ones? Nice. It's gonna look great out there when everything gets going! Are you using that wheelbarrow as a planter? My husband brought home two old ones from his mom's house when it sold a couple yrs ago. The tires were flat and they were really rusty. We already had a nice big one, so I had him drill a few holes in the bottom and I just planted some mini roses, snapdragons and petunias in them! They're out in the veggie pen. I love feeding the birdies too! Started with the hummies, then the wild birds. And now it's the chickies! My husband and younger son were out hoeing up that horrible foxtail grass out of some of the walkways down below. We can't afford for our dumb dog to get those damn things in her paw again! The rain made all that crap come back with a vengeance! The foxtail and wild carrot (not sure what it really is) are about 3ft tall! The chickens won't eat it tho. I guess it's too rough. Oh, Irisgal, I think SDMLV does blow kinda fast. That bloom is about two days old. I didn't detect any scent on her whatsoever. I was kinda expecting a nice perfume...

How does one pick a favorite quote from D.H.Lawrence? There are quit a few. Hanslick, a music critic, a profession I don't understand. Art in whichever form, is such a personal preference and there is somebody who wants to tell you what you are supposed to feel. Kind of like telling you that you must like cilantro when it tastes like soap. Got to run, my puppies are going to get picked up by their owners. The location might get some more dogs, but unless they are real large dogs or pitbulls, others will take care of them. I got typecast, it seems.
