This is my 1st picture of my garden that I'm posting. My son just showed me how to scan my pictures. Now I'll be able to share with you, too. So excited. Sue

Closer pic. This is great. sue

What would we do without our kids.

I had to get my daughter to teach my how to resize and post my pictures too.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing with us.

I just hope I can remember everything. I think I will have him go over it again and take notes. Sue

Sue, beautiful pics. I LOVE that fountain!

Sue is that a solar fountain?? I saw one like that I want a blue one soooo bad!!!

I just love it!

Love the fountain, Sue...give us some details about it. Did you build it yourself? I bet the birds enjoy it, too. Looks like you have a good handle on posting pix now.

Sue can post pictures now!

Love the fountain, Sue! Your garden is awesome! So glad you figured out how to post pics!

Thanks guys . Yes, it is a solar powered fountain. My son got it for me for Mother's Day and for Father's Day he got my husband a solar powered, copper bird bath with a water fall in the middle. He got them on line for Sears. The maker of both is Smart Solar. They have a web site and I saw they have a green one, but I'm not sure about blue. Mine is terra cotta and has a Southwestern motif band around each bowl plus the jug at the top. I love the solar feature. No electricity to full with. I hope this is just the start of the solar STUFF!!! We have the lights, too and it makes our yard so cozy at night. Hope this is the info you wanted. If not ask. Sue

OK, Sue, don't laugh if this is a dumb question but inquiring minds need to know...lol! Are batteries of any kind required to operate the fountain? I know they are with some solar lights. I want one of those fountains and have the perfect spot for it. I spotted one in the Gardener's Supply catalog but I had to be revived with smelling salts when I saw the price. Things that make you go "Accckkkk!!!"

No Batteries required, Rosie. I know what you mean about the price. My son had it shipped to our house, so we saw how much he paid for it and could have shot him for spending that much. But it is very nice. Sue

Looks great Sue!!!!

Well done

Great garden and fountain Sue , I almost bought one of those exact same ones before deciding to dig out a pond!

Looks really nice.

Your garden looks so tidy Sue. Beautiful pictures of a beautiful area there! Thanks for sharing with us! Sounds like you got a heck of a son there too.

Your garden is beautiful. I went to Smart Solar and looked at the blue one. It talks about a 15 foot cord to plug in the solar panels. How did you work that out?
