About a month ago, when my dad was here visiting me, we built a little fountain in my backyard. We put a water lily in it, in hopes that it would add yet more life to the perky little burbling of the water. I keep hoping the lily will bloom, but it seems as though I may just have to keep hoping.
It seems I'm not the only one who enjoys my lovely water feature. One morning last week, I spied an adorable young squirrel precariously perched along the side of the font, dipping his head in for a drink and pawing at the lily.
I've spotted several birds taking the odd bath here and there, but this morning, my little fountain was a veritable pool party. Four little sparrows had arrayed themselves around the edge of the pot and were joyously dipping their heads in and waggling their tails to splash themselves. They seemed so happy, it made me smile.
Ahhh Saturday. My day of total retreat from the world. I ignore my phone, I talk to. . . well, I talk to the cat if she seems interested, but she felt more like napping by my side while I read today, so I pretty much just didn't talk at all.
Heck, I don't think I've even spoken to myself today.
It's late afternoon now and I'm starting to feel the urge to stir myself a bit, so I suppose I'll locate my pals and head out for the evening. Maybe I'll see some of you at the movies!
