My daughter texted me a screenshot of a youtube interview of me she'd come across. I didn't recognize it by the screenshot, so did a youtube search for it. Turns out it was done in 2020 by some unknown visitor who followed me around with a camera.
Before you watch it, I have to tell you how much has changed in 5 years. It starts with me repairing a pulley wire to the hanging bird feeder that my son has since put a crank assembly on so I don't have to raise it by hand.
At 7:27 minutes in, it talks about the future water feature and how I wasn't excited about it. Since then, I adore the water feature and can't imagine the oasis without it.
Around 9 minutes in, it shows the big concrete tank, which is now collapsed and doesn't hold water for more than a couple weeks anymore.
A short whle later, I mention how I wish I was set up better for photography. That has improved with the new blind.
About 15 minutes in, I talk about how perhaps I water the trees more than needed. I since cut down and nearly lost some trees doing it, so that is no longer in question.
I talk about my son taking over the oasis when I'm gone. That is no longer gonna happen. So this video is a glimpse into the past, but otherwise pretty much out-of-date. Nevertheless, I'm sure some of you will enjoy watching it.

Update on brother: He's going home from the hospital today with a PICC line that he'll have to use to treat the staph infection, but he should have a good recovery. I'm remaining optimistic.
