My obsessive/compulsive

Woke up today with the urge to go to the oasis and fix the water drip. So not an early start like I do when I plan ahead. Here's the lovely drip in 2020 before the critters broke off the top tier.

Then here it is with the top rock broken off. I can't use it that way because the water puddles in the top and runs down the side, plus no way to secure the inlet hose.

So, even though it doesn't look pretty (birds don't care), I piled lots of cement on top to secure the hose and channel the water. Kind of reminds me of a Mexican horno (oven), but I can always stack rocks up along the side to make it look better. I worked in 105° heat today, so was mainly focused on getting it operational. It'll blend in when it dries. Can always beautify when it cools off.... if the urge strikes me. I sure hope the middle basin doesn't get knocked off. I don't think it will. It's much more secure than the top one was.

I'll try to take better photos of it too. I was in survival mode. Didn't even watch birds or odes today. I just hope the cement doesn't set up too fast and crack. I wet it while I was there, but that wasn't for very long after I finished. Good thing I don't have the compulsion YET, or I'd concrete some of the rocks in on the new water feature by the viewing blind. Maybe with some help I will. At the moment it functions and looks fine.
