"MAKE A SPLASH"

 So many of us are drawn to water........It seems to connect us to our mother earth.....Millions of us flock to the beaches every year for vacation trying to fill our natural quest to be near water.....Whether it is playing for hours in the swimming pool or dancing in the ocean waves, ........to me, there's nothing like the rhythm of those ocean waves......ahhhhh.... those beautiful ocean waves .......crashing to the shore.......the sound of them magically transcends me to another place,  just as the sound of falling water does.....no wonder we enjoy fountains so much, it mimics the very sounds that still our minds and soothe our souls...
 Whether indoors or out, water features awaken our senses.....The sound of moving or falling water has always been known to be an important part of life.....WATER IS LIFE.....calming the spirit and allowing our spirit to relax and feel a part of nature......
 The word "fountain" in latin "Fontis" means a source or spring.......Garden features are made to mimic the sounds of moving or falling water, with an effortless descent into various types of basins.....
 I could sit on my patio by my garden, and listen to my fountains all day and night....there is nothing quiet like it......the very sounds they make bring a sense of calm and relaxation, like a steady rain on a tin roof in the night......."A Garden Locked....a Fountain sealed....a Garden Fountain is a well of Living Water".....Song of Solomon...4:12.....Fountains and Gardens just go hand and hand....I have several placed here and there....some small and some large....all of which I enjoy so much.....Placing a fountain in your garden is a must....it is the ultimate addition, allowing the still of the flowers and plants to come alive...Even the birds "Make a Splash" as they bathe with delight in a fountains cascading shower....

 If you don't have a fountain of your own in your garden........What are You Waiting For???.....Make your garden come alive ....."MAKE A SPLASH".......and add your own melody of falling water....then sit back.....grab your favorite book......and  RELAX....AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH......:D
