Now we will put in a new rock from every trip we take....

Just a normal little water fountian (which is not working at this time) and a bear we got out of some garden magazine. The lamp on the bear does light up at night. Got one of those photocell things in it.
The rocks around the fountian have come from all over the US. These are rocks we picked up as we traveled around. Will be adding a lot more in the near future.

Great Idea...I've seen a few "ROCK" gardens in obscure towns around the country...saw a real nice one in Ouray Colrado last year...we started one too...putting our rocks into one of the flower beds next to the driveway...I guess you weren't always from AZ

Actually I have never lived in Az...but do have a sister and some friends who do live there.
Wife wants to remove the fountain thing and replace it with a wishing well thing. She wants me to fill it up with quartz.....
