Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is sunny, windy, and warm. Thermometer says 75°F.  Crocuses are now blooming in several shades of lavender and yellow, along with more winter aconite.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a flock of sparrows.

I put out water for the birds.

I raked off the rectangular flowerbed beside the telephone pole, and started digging out grass shoots.  I raked off the rectangular flowerbed beside the telephone pole, and started digging out grass shoots.  Bergamot and hollyhock are starting to sprout.

EDIT 2/26/24 -- I've dug out most of the grass and weeds from the interior of the rectangular bed.  I think I may use a spade to speed up the edging.

EDIT 2/26/24 -- Using a spade definitely speeds up the edge-clearing process.  However, it also leaves me with bigger pieces of discard.  The big hole I was planning to put them in has poppies sprouting in it.  So now I need to move the poppies.  There's a hole in the bucket ... 

EDIT 2/26/24 -- I dug some poppy shoots out of the hole and moved them to the flowerbed.

EDIT 2/26/24 -- I did more edging with the spade.

As it is getting dark, I am done for the night.
