This week’s Header Challenge is Fountain, called by Imac. There are no fountains on the farm, and I don’t believe there is one in our little town nor even the outskirts of the Big City. So I had to make do, I don’t have gobs of time to run around with my camera looking for fountains.
First I was just going to take a quick pic of one of the tubs of daffs and call it a fountain, but then I decided I’d take a few more minutes and arrange about three of them to look a bit more fountainy.
Then I knew that the others, would think that I had stretched it way too far and so I decided to take the flowers down by the pond in the front yard to at least have a hint of water feature.
Since I was dragging a couple of pots down there I decided to take all of the very yellow and newly bloomed ones down to the far side of the pond to construct a “fountain”.
It’s not like I didn’t already have a lot of work to do, and I was certainly not going to get any help from my farm mates. But I was surprised that Dirt helped a little.
“Do you have your inhaler with you,” he huffed as he went by with real work in hand.
Well if he doesn’t approve of how I spend chore time at least he cared if I killed myself with my silliness. All in all the photo is so much less than I had hoped for… I didn’t get back far enough to capture enough to make it fit my header, the focus was a constant issue (might have something to do with the little water accident a week or so ago). In the end the duckies came along to cheer me up, so out of a bazillion hastily taken poor photos I went with the girls. They look so carefree don’t you think? Like they’re swiming in a fancy fountain.
Check out the side board for the others in this challenge, I’ve already peeked, they’re all good but I do have my favorites, bet you’ll never guess… I’m late for a very important date, Bet and I are going up to see Anna and her wonderful Skagit Valley in the morning and leaving Dirt girl-less to fend for himself. We’ll be back just in time to have Easter with the other girls and families. So sorry this is all so rushed, I should have gone with my first inclination of bowing out of this one, but the magic word for me is “challenge”, I never turn one down even though I don’t have a real good track record with many of the challenges in life, but the point is being in the race right? Isn’t that what your mom always told you?
I love your photo. Very nice!
Please tell Anna that I wish them a Happy Easter. I hope you and Bet have a safe and enjoyable visit. Happy Easter to one of my favorite families!
Lanny: Cute take on the theme. There are a lot more fountains in europe then here. We are still waiting for Spring. We have the rain but it is still in the 30’s at night.
Nice yellow submarine- sorry fountain Lanny – clever thoughts here abound.
Wonderful fountain of spring – and oh dear me – keep that inhaler at hand whether you are doing foolishness or “real work”!
Lanny, you’re a fountain of fun!
I like your picture very much. Your flowers are beautiful, and yes, the ducks add a nice touch. Happy Easter to you and yours!
A fountain of flowers..perfect! Your water is not frozen..that is a good thing. Enjoy your Mini vacation..how ever will Dirt survive all alone til Sunday? Blessed Easter wishes on Sunday:)
