Today is mostly sunny and sweltering.
I fed the birds. I've seen several house finches, several robins, and a mourning dove.
I put out water for the birds and watered a few plants. There are even more honeybees on the birdbath than yesterday.
EDIT 6/21/24 -- I watered the blue spruce and pawpaw seedlings in the savanna.
Butterflies are feeding in the wildflower garden. :D I saw a black swallowtail and a medium-sized brown-spotted one that might have been a hackberry emperor or some sort of fritillary.
EDIT 6/21/24 -- I watered the patio plants.
I saw at least a couple of dark-eyed juncos, might have been more; a bunch of birds flew out of the forest garden when I went outside. I almost never see those in the summer, they're winter birds here.
EDIT 6/21/24 -- I watered the picnic table plants and the barrel garden.
EDIT 6/21/24 -- I watered the septic garden.
EDIT 6/21/24 -- I watered the tower strip and part of the monarch strip in the prairie garden.
EDIT 6/21/24 -- I finished watering the monarch strip, the bluestem strip, and a few other things in the prairie garden.
Fireflies are coming out.
As it is now dark, I am done for the night.
EDIT 6/21/24 -- I got to see the Strawberry Moon tonight. At first it was a deep peach color, but as it rose higher, it lightened and looked more pinkish. Some years it is really pink, almost reddish.
