The Fountain

Today was a great, long day of work in the yard and we are getting closer to nirvana. Lance has really poured so much of himself into this project and I am very proud of him. I know it was special, also, that he was able to work with his father today. Larry was instrumental in helping with stonework and setting up our electrical routing. I was able to do some climbing rose training, planting, and transplanting while granmom watched the boys.


The true highlight of the day was when the fountain was set up and we got to see it run for the first time. Carly, Phil, and Juliana came over to watch and Phil helped move the fountain into position. It really makes a huge difference in the overall ambiance of the backyard. Lance commented that he felt like he was at a resort and it really did. Benjamin was so excited and later discovered how much fun it is to play with the water from the fountain. Yikes!


I just can't believe how wonderful it all looks and how blessed I am to live in such a beautiful environment. Again, so proud of my husband for designing and implementing the overall plan. While I have been responsible for the flora in our landscape, Lance is responsible for the grand design and all of the work on the pergola. I really think he could make it big in the landscaping field. But, really, we both owe it all to God for blessing us with this home and the incredible beauty of the land where it sits. Also we have been given the gift of our special talents that, through the work of our hands, have made this place uniquely and wonderfully ours.


Thank you, Lord!
