As you can see, I've (with my awesome son-in-laws help, of course!) switched to my spring and summer look (even tho we have at least 5 inches of snow and the temp is 20). I'm going to think spring if it kills me!
The banner is a picture of one of my gardens. It is visible from the street and all my customers walk right past it. It is right under this.
I made the fountain (with my awesome son-in-laws help, of course!) a few years ago. Like a lot of my "stuff", this coffee pot has a lot of memories. When we first started going to camp, this is what we heated water in. It got a little hole so naturally I said I wanted it. I decided to send a picture of it to Birds & Blooms magazine just for fun. They liked the idea and decided to put it in the Oct/Nov. issue in 2002!
This is the page it was on along with some other garden ideas from old stuff. I had a small granite ware collection and didn't display it anymore so decided to use it for a fountain. I knew what I wanted but needed Chris to figure out how to do it.
This is what they wrote about it. I have had a lot of comments on my unique fountain and look forward to putting it out every year (Thank goodness I don't have to ask Chris' help for that). Notice that I did give him the credit due in the article. If anyone is interested in knowing how it is done let me know and I'll take pictures and do a post when I put it out (if it ever stops snowing!!).

Love your fountain! My husband always loves creative ideas for the garden, so I had to show him this one! Does it have a submurged pump?
:)
