This was fountain a gift for Joe Brian many years ago.
Eventually the second tier from the top wasn't sitting right. The cement was worn away. I stopped using it.
As is the bird bath.

Getting at it is tricky.
This is the debris I found in the water fountain screen. Clever me 😏 I took off the screen, hoping the pump would send it through. Nope. I've turned the fountain off until the sun shines and I can do some water play again. (3rd time this month!) Apparently we've a warm, sunny day. I tackled it Thursday.
The pump nestles in the inner section. I cannot lift the bottom tier off, but can slide it to the side.
I moved the bird bath pump to the water fountain, just to keep the water moving. Otherwise the mosquitoes lay eggs in it.
I tackled it, soaked the pump in vinegar and water, still no success. I cannot open up the pump, as I have in the past. I ordered a new one. It arrived and was installed. We are working again.
I've much gardening to do. I putter at it. The weeds are getting the best of me. It is discouraging.
My jack-in-the-pulpit are doing well.
We ended up watching tennis. I fell asleep watching Felix in the afternoon! I keep waking at dawn, and I have to convince my brain that I shouldn't. That time change is really ridiculous in this day and age.
We have friends at night. This is a red fox.

Your fountain is lovely. I think my neighbors gave up on repairing their and now it is just pretty with plants around it.
Great to see, and hear a working fountain! Kudos for fixing it, again! Yes, I wake at pre-dawn now, and sometimes get another hour, but usually don't. Fortunately naps are allowed!
Tennis, the heat, the top men players falling like leaves in Autumn, there will be a new men's winner, while the ladies continue to battle it out. The fountain, that is a beauty and the new pump will be so so worth all the dollars.
There's always something to spoil the party. Weeds make things unpleasant. Bugs are nuisance. But I still like gardening and watching plants grow.
You always seem to be so busy.
I'm glad you were able to get the fountain working again.
I'm sure the birdies appreciate your new pump! Linda in Kansas
I am only vaguely aware of the happenings at the French Open, but I will watch Wimbledon with great interest. And then the Canadian and then the US Open.
Good for you fixing the fountain
Impressed, indeed, with the fountain repair. It looks great and I am sure your wildlife relishes it.
You are amazing at fixing things, I don't have a talent for that at all. If it is mechanical, I am lost.
Hello,
I know you are happy to have the fountain fixed.
Happy June! Take care, enjoy your day and happy week ahead!
That is a nice fountain! As for weeds, I consider them plants that just happen to grow where we don't want them. It's all green, so all good, right? Except for bindweed.
