I’ve been thinking about sprucing up the front porch a little.  It’s just so drab now, it almost makes it look like the house is abandoned.  With a few chairs, a table, some potted plants, and maybe even an outdoor wall fountain, I can really make the place look homey. 

My friend who works at Wal-Mart (boy, do I feel sorry for him) might be able to get me a discount on a set of table and chairs, and I guess some flowers, too.  I’m looking online for some wall water fountains, but it’s so hard to know how they would really look at my place. 

And how do fountains even work, anyways?  There’s a pump and water, and I guess. . . some kind of. . . motor?

How do other people do this?  I mean, this seems like the kind of project everyday people do on the weekends, but I can’t seem to grasp anything about even basic plumbing.  It would be funny if it weren’t so embarrassing.

I’ll have to talk this over with the ol’ ball and chain first to find out what we can afford and what would look best.  She’s got the artistic sense while I’m just the grunt work.
