If the rain lets up today, I'm off to find the unusual. I haven't taken the time lately, but I find it entertaining to do a bit of exploring down alley ways, quaint little courtyards or hidden gated gardens. We seem to have plenty of them around here and I can hardly wait. I never know what to expect on one of these outings, but find I'm never disappointed. Once I found an unusual fountain in a hidden courtyard garden.How often it is that a garden, beautiful though it be, will seem sad and dreary and lacking in one of its most gracious features, if it has no water.
