Betty here is a shot of where it sits - at the moment. This is just beside the side gate into the back yard. I had a millstone fountain there but for various resons was not happy with that. Last year I trimmed back about half of that Mugo Pine and at the moment have some Ladies Mantle in front of it but this will probably change. There is some Lamium around the edge of the bed where the fountain sits and some old Trollius behind which I may move as it might be hidden too much. Will wait until things start growing - need something low around the base too.

Marilyn I now have 4 fountains, actually I have two more, one I dont keep set up and the Millstone I removed which I will put on the other side of the front yard. I am restricted on where I can put them by the location of electrical outltets and how I can reasonably run extension cords! I like to have the running water, dont want to deal with a pond and the birds love to bath in the fountain I have in the back yard- it has a nice basin just right for them!+

Better go get cleaned up - I am working a shift at LH this afternoon. Going to try to remember my camera and get a picture now my blouse is all prettied up with lace.

When I get home I will try to get the new fountain running- I need help with it just because installing the pump/tubing etc means shifting the pieces a bit and they are really heavy.
