Birdfeeding

Today is sunny and quite warm with a light breeze. :D
I haven't fed the birds yet, but I've seen a grackle and Nipple Squirrel.
There's also a tractor plowing a field northwest of us.
I sowed Shithouse Marigolds in the giant pot by the septic garden and took pictures of the process.
EDIT 4/14/24 -- I fed the birds. I've seen a male house finch. I've heard red-winged blackbirds calling but haven't seen them.
I put out water for the birds and watered a few plants. One of the bleeding hearts has sprouted. \o/
EDIT 4/14/24 -- I watered the marigold seeds, so that project is done (at least for that pot, I still have the second one to do).
EDIT 4/14/24 -- I trimmed around the goddess garden near the corner of the house. Mother-of-thyme has spread out into the grass, which is fine.
The air smells strongly of lilacs, spreading themselves open on the warm spring wind.
EDIT 4/14/24 -- I started digging weeds, grass, and extraneous wild violets out of the goddess garden, insofar as I can extract them where they are not too tangled with other things.
EDIT 4/14/24 -- I continued digging in the goddess garden.
EDIT 4/14/24 -- I continued digging in the goddess garden, and it's ready to re-install the statue. Progress!
EDIT 4/14/24 -- I put the goddess statue in the garden. \o/
There are tracks all around the shrinking puddles, mostly birds, but I think some are raccoon.
As it is getting dark, I am done for the night.
