As you walk towards our house on the walkway, off to the right is an area that seems to serve no purpose. The space is 11x11, enclosed by a one foot brick wall with large paving stones on the ground. It sets directly in front of the dining room. The former owner had a small table and two chairs in this little space but it was plain to see that no one ever sat there. Ken and I have been discussing our options and finally settled on a fountain. A piece of sculpture was too expensive but fountains were affordable.
While we looked for deck furniture, we also looked at fountains but nothing seemed interesting. Ken found a place in Crystal Springs that advertised 500 fountains so today, having nothing else to do, we drove down to look at our options. It was the most astonishing place. First we were forced to turn on our GPS in order to find the place, which is called Four Seasons Garden Art. Crystal Springs is a small town so we thought we could drive to the town and find the garden art store, but we were wrong. The Four Seasons was on a country road with poor signs but they had acres of garden art and 500 fountains, all running. We had a blast. One was better than the last but eventually we asked for prices.
Next time you visit us at our Mississippi home you will see a large fountain in the center of a square on the right of the house. It will fill the space as well as sound beautiful. Next week they will set the slab and the week after will deliver and install our fountain. We looked at so many beautiful fountains that when they install the one we bought, I will not remember except I know it is nice. Fancy too. Today we did good work at the Four Seasons Garden Art.
