Alas... That time has come... We must part ways for the season. This weekend's chilly weather made my plumbing shiver🥶⛲️. So as I begin my fall/winter slumber, I've turned off my jets for 2021; only to be reawakened in May 2022 for my 95th B-day celebration.

I particularly like the Buckingham Fountain collection! But, I may be biased. chicagoparkdistrict.threadless.com/designs
