Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is sunny, breezy, and warm.  We got some rain last night, enough to leave puddles.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a flock of squabbling house finches and Nipple Squirrel. 

I checked the grass, and it seems to have dried out, so hopefully I'll get some yardwork done today.

Assorted blackbirds are roosting in the trees around the ritual meadow again.

I saw a large black wasp with a white spot on the abdomen, possibly a mason wasp.

EDIT 4/27/24 -- We got the mower going so Doug can mow the ritual meadow.  \o/

I started trimming grass around the telephone pole so I can plant more lilies there.  The sky has clouded over and is threatening rain.

EDIT 4/27/24 -- I rescued a honeybee from the foyer and got her back outside.

Doug got the ritual meadow mowed, part of what needed done in the prairie garden, and a partial path through the savanna.

I finished trimming around the telephone pole

EDIT 4/27/24 -- I planted 12 Stargazer lilies around the telephone pole.

Blackberries, alliums, and poppies have flower buds.  :D

EDIT 4/27/24 -- I used a hand rake to clear off one of the spots in the ritual meadow that needs grass seed, and sowed it with Bee Lawn Mix.

EDIT 4/27/24 -- I raked and sowed a couple of smaller spots in the ritual meadow.

It's starting to spit rain, but I don't know if anything more will come of it.

I saw a robin in a puddle at the end of the driveway.

Now it's time for supper, so I am done for the night.
