    We just got our fountain yesterday and are happy to report that its soothing waters lulled us to sleep all night long through our open bedroom windows — all the more satisfying for our troubleshooting in the beginning. About 15 minutes after Paul and Charles set up the fountain and departed for ways north of Kensington, my four-year-old noted, “Mommy, it’s flooding!” Indeed, our uneven dirt ground had shifted, causing one of the water spouts to miss its mark, making a puddle in the yard. Hmm… after some attempt at bucket shifting and some semi-plugging of holes (a bad idea we discovered, since the water all needs to flow evenly to avoid overflow), I finally shimmed the settled bucket’s bottom with a downed forsythia branch. Et voilĂ ! Le font has run smoothly ever since, and we’re enjoying our visitor thoroughly.
