Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is cloudy and chilly.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a flock of mourning doves and a small flock of sparrows.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 2/7/25 -- I set up a flat of 32 pots, most of them narrow deep wildflower pots, but I haven't added the soil yet.

EDIT 2/7/25 -- I potted up 12 persimmon tree seeds and labeled them.  I still need to water them.

I'm almost out of potting soil, so I'll need to get another bag from Home Depot so I can continue potting.  But there's quite a bit of space left in this flat.
