Today is sunny and warm. It's 71°F outside.

I fed the birds. I've seen a small flock of sparrows and a starling. I heard the titmouse when I went outside but didn't see it.

I put out water for the birds. The honeybees have rediscovered the tall birdbath. :D

Lots of crocuses are blooming, including the first white one, which is larger than the snow crocuses.

My order has arrived from One Green World.

EDIT 3/11/25 -- We started putting together the new RYOBI Speed Bench Mobile Workstation. It is a right proper pain in the ass. >_< The part bags and assembly steps don't match. The instructions are unclear. The parts don't all fit together easily.

I've seen several house finches and a pair of cardinals.

EDIT 3/11/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

I've seen a mourning dove, and the titmouse shrieked at me from the forest garden when I went outside, fluttering around and trying to drive me away from the food source. I am approximately 2000 times his size and he so doesn't care. LOL

One of the honeybees drowned in the tall birdbath. Well, there goes $20 to the ants. :( So I had to go find a rock to put in the middle in case they need to climb out. What I really need to do is make a proper bee watering dish, and then teach them to use that instead of A) things that might kill them or B) my plants that I want to water without a territorial argument.

EDIT 3/11/25 -- We finished assembling the workbench. \o/ Some of the leftover cardboard is suitable for use as seed-starting pots. We filled the whole garden cart with the rest of it. I love that cart. I also love the utility knife -- its blade has 2 extension lengths and locks into place very conveniently. I happened to be wearing actual work pants, and it is super useful to have lots of pockets and D-rings to hang tools from. :D

The temperature was up to 77°F last I checked. So wrong for March.

EDIT 3/11/25 -- I saw a fox squirrel at the hopper feeder.
