We check the new fountain

purchased today. A solar powered one,

making sure it’s not misbehaving.

 

The late afternoon sun is waning

and the fountain is struggling

doesn’t seem to mind the issue,

while splashing about in appreciation

 

for the aquatic addition to its surroundings.

Now, if we can just remember

to keep filling the darn thing with water…
