Fountains

                                                            It takes muscles to lift these!

Putting up the fountains

We are so blessed to have such great family and friends. Thanks to our son, Jeremiah, who came around the back way due to a bridge being repaired, and the Meglish Family, we were able to put together the big fountain. I did bribe them with cheese cake and coffee. Not only did we have the man power for the 76 inch high Pavasa Fountain, but we moved the sleigh, moved the stone cow statue, and put up the 3 tiered sea shell fountain.

You can see the pictures and a video I did on Facebook. I'll be posting some pictures here, too. Come on by and check out the beautiful sounds of water!

View from The Cabin

In between the raindrops and the snowflakes today, I have seen my first pair of common merganser ducks. There were actually three pairs! The male had the white body and greenish, black head and the female was grayish with a brown crested head. The Wyalusing Creek is running higher and is a muddy brown. I saw a large tree branch floating down the middle at a pretty fast clip.

The phoebes are back. I love their call. The birds are still looking for a handout. We still fill the feeders. We will be carrying bird seed all year long for those who like to continue feeding.

Yesterday, Tim and I opened the last two pallets of stone fountains, birdbaths and adorable statuary. Thursday we will be putting in place the largest of the fountains. A 76" Pavasa, three tiered and gorgeous. Be sure to stop by and take a look. The fairy garden doors are moving along. Don't wait too long to get yours!
