Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is sunny and cool.

I haven't fed the birds yet.  I've seen a flock of at least 20 goldfinches, mixed sparrows and house finches, and a tufted titmouse.  I saw a fox squirrel run through the trees and disappear into a knothole near the road.

I planted the blue false indigo today: one in the purple-and-white garden, one at the west end of the log garden, one in the wagonwheel garden, and two under saplings in the savanna.

There are a few small puddles in the road, so it must have rained a bit last night.

EDIT 11/16/24 -- I fed the birds.  They're swarming the feeders today. The thistle feeder was half empty and the suet feeder was empty, so I refilled those too.

I started transplanting small pots of hopefully wildflowers -- they didn't do well on the new picnic table.  I recognize the yarrow seedling and bergamot seedlings, but that's it. And the labels faded.  I need to look for a paint pen because Sharpie "permanent" marker is nowhere near permanent enough.

EDIT 11/16/24 -- I transplanted the rest of the small pots from the flats on the new picnic table.  \o/

EDIT 11/16/24 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

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