Last Sunday was my birthday and my family took me out to Peasant & the Pear in Danville for brunch. It was delightful.....
And on Tuesday my friend Jill took me to Treasure Island for lunch at Mersea overlooking the San Francisco skyline.
Mersea consists of several shipping container units with huge windows added. They have Corn Hole and other outdoor games as well as a full on bar and kitchen. Fun!
It was the perfect temperature for sitting outside because you never know with San Francisco!
On Saturday morning a truck backed into our driveway.......
After more than a month my garden fountain had arrived!!!
We knew it was coming as Mr. B had to build a foundation and get electricity to the area. You can see what this area previously looked like here - Constantly Evolving
I was very nervous when Mr. B's foundation looked so large. At first I thought maybe we had made a big mistake and chose too large of a fountain because it was as tall as the pad is wide - yikes!
They carefully brought it in piece by piece. Well that base doesn't look as big as the pad that the company suggested building, maybe it won't be too bad?
In went the pump, the tower and the top. Then the rustic spouts went on and it was filled with water.
I held my breath and......the sound was deep and soothing....it worked.....I loved it!
Within minutes of set up, a little hummingbird flew around the fountain inspecting it from every angle ( I think he loved it too!) Tomorrow I will replant the white Iceberg roses around the base to soften it some and it will feel more like it's been in our yard for awhile.
I can't wait for the rest of the birds to discover their new fountain!
"Rocks and water, etc.,
are words of God, and so are men.
We all flow from one fountain Soul.
All are expressions of one Love."
