The serene sound of a gurgling fountain

My new addition! I just love the sound of a fountain. It is so peaceful and relaxing. I saw this fountain at Costco back in May. I really liked it but knew I shouldn't spend the money on it. So every time I was in there I would walk over to the display and found hope when they still had some left. I would walk away saying "maybe someday". As you may know with Costco many of their seasonal stuff you have to grab while they have it because often times it does not last long at all! Well when I was there yesterday, the huge stack of them was diminished to 4 fountains. Oh no, they were down to 4! I put one in my cart to just walk around the store and think...can I? Should I? I quickly ran and put back the $12 book I had picked out (I can get it from the library) and put back the $10 container of raspberries (I can get a smaller $2 container from Fry's) and I quickly came up with $22 towards my fountain. The other $20 came from my pedicure money...that's okay, I can do that myself, on my patio, listening to my fountain. Almost like a spa or fancy salon.

So I came home and cleaned off the patio to make room for my new addition. It has gotten so dirty with all the storms. All the glass has been cleaned, the patio itself hosed off and table wiped down. Now for my fountain! It was so easy to set up and looks just as good as I hoped it would on my patio. It is in the shade for most of the day so it should last a long time without having the hot sun beating down on it all day.

I definitely got my monies worth out of my last fountain. It only had cost me $3 on clearance at Target. Well it lasted over 3 years on a wall that got sun, Arizona sun, 90% of the day. It was composed of resin/plastic that eventually cracked. I liked that fountain a lot but I LOVE this one. Its classy looking isn't it. So now I have the lovely sound of trickling water to listen to as I enjoy my morning coffee in my backyard. That along with the occasional sound of my wind chimes swaying in the breeze makes for a really lovely way to start my day.

A motivating discussion is worth comment. There's no doubt that that you need to publish more about this subject, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people don't talk about such topics.

To the next! Best wishes!!

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation
but I find this matter to be actually something which I think
I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad
for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!

I don't know if it's just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering problems
with your blog. It seems like some of the text on your content are running off the screen.

Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too?
This could be a problem with my internet browser because I've had this happen before. Appreciate it
