Tactical Siphon

A continuous drizzle dictated an upgrade to our water harvesting operations. Transferring Barnaby securely under the rim of the upturned ceramic pot, I inspected a fresh trickle collecting off a glossy hosta leaf. Beside the root flare lay an unbent aluminum drink pull-tab. Utilizing calculated leverage with both hands, I wedged the metal ring into the damp loam beneath the leaf tip, fashioning a rigid catchment spout. Barnaby extended a single paw to tap the clean reservoir with supreme indifference. Operational hydration remains entirely systematized.
