I totally nerd out over water features in my garden. The four we have going each day are very zen.

These little motors don’t last forever, though, particularly as we run them daily between sunrise and sunset, with some exceptions. The good news is that I repurpose all the old fountains (three so far) mostly as planters.

Shando had the very good idea that this one should be brought in from the edge of the porch, which actually facilitated the wiring with the smart plugs. This one lights up, so having it on the back porch has a really lovely effect. It’s close enough to the family room that we can run it into the evening and hear and watch it from the couch. it’s not so close to the sliding door that it causes splashes and spots, which was annoying when the previous one was there.

I’ve had the frog figurine and the lilypad stool for a while. They were bought separately but I have to keep them together, right? I tried to glue the frog to the top, especially to cover a hole that exists there by design, but the curvature of the stool is concave, and therefore the flat part of the frog figurine will not adhere to it.
