Living in Santa Barbara is like living in Paradise!
As I was checking out the listings on Craigslist, I came across someone who was looking to rehome her two fish. She was looking for someone who would adopt and love her albino catfish and her upside down catfish. As Donnie and I were looking to create a third fish universe, we volunteered. Not only was she happy to let us adopt her fish but she gave us over $300.00 dollars worth of an aquarium, stand, filters, heaters, plants, decorations, fish food, and an entire plastic storage container filled with every fish product you could imagine. What a Joy it was for us to create a new and beautiful world.
Not only did we decorate the inside of our home, we also decorated our entry way. One of the most relaxing sounds I know of is of running water. In our entry way, we now have a four teared illuminated stone fountain.
A garden fountain is not a a garden fountain without a garden. With our gift card from Home Depot,
we placed two palm bushes near the fountain. One across and the other next to the fountain.
To make the foyer complete we added a gardenia plant on the other side of the fountain.
As you walk towards our garden apartment, you feel as if you have entered into a taste of Paradise.
The reality that we received a card from Ashley Haynes on the same day reminded us what God feels when he hears our prayers. Although we are far, far away from our niece, with her card, she is very close to our heart. Truly this was like living in Paradise!
