Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 27, 2019

What a Christmas miracle.

Ah, the fountain of youth !

Alice never mentioned that Grandma had a fountain like the one she wanted. Where has Grandma or the fountain been hiding?

Probably the same place that Madelane’s neon sign Xmas sweater came from!

It was Big Shirley’s water bowl. Poor Shirley is going to need a bigger one.

Lucky girl. I can almost see the birds and squirrels listening to her sing with smiles on their faces.

If you see Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman standing beside it at night in a thunderstorm – beware!

Now, how to get it up to her bedroom?

It’s not an exact match, but good enough for Alice.

AAAWWWwww…. So cute! ! ! ! !

If I live to be a hundred, I will never know from where, came that fountain, ugly fountain, that disaster standing there."…

Okay, so in Alice’s pre-schooler view, this ugly birdbath from Grandma’s yard is her “big ugly (baroque) fountain”; that’s just fine. Mr. Otterloop has resolved the issue with all sides happy! He should be a diplomat!
