Birthday fountain!

My lovely wife gave me a solar powered fountain for my birthday a few weeks back:
Our new solar-powered fountain (filled with reclaimed rainwater) because we are hippies.
It is excellent and completes my end of the duo pact that my pal Dan and I agreed to. We were inspired by our neighbor to each have both a Japanese maple tree and a fountain. Dan had a fountain that he put together himself (very impressive) and I have a rather meek looking Charlie Brown Japanese maple (it will make a come back in the Spring). Now I have an excellent fountain. I’ll probably upgrade the rocks to black river rocks (Dan ordered a box for this fountain) but, otherwise it is excellent. The solar pump charges for up to 8 hours of sun-free operation.
This past weekend I added a bench. Now all that is left is to deal with the mosquitos or hope the season actually changes to Fall and we can sit outside without being devoured alive.
