My big project this month was getting a new picnic table, water-sealing it, and moving it into position near the septic garden. I'll be using it as a plant holder. Currently I have a flat of pots where I'm trying to start wildflowers; I got some seeds for blue false indigo and yellow false indigo which are better planted fresh. I still want to move some of my already-potted things there.

I saw some really neat Stellar's Jays while camping in Yosemite. They were pretty talkative and also weren't afraid to come down and try to steal our food.

I have seen the northern flickers a lot recently.

At the start of the month bugs destroyed my winter squash, so I replanted a couple weeks ago. Bugs destroyed it last year too, maybe later planting will work out.

While on a trip to Indiana I saw a few cardinals - both males and females.
Yesterday while out in Cleveland Ohio I saw a mourning dove on the sidewalk! It didn't fly away until we were close.
