Birdfeeding
Aug. 2nd, 2025 04:24 pmToday is mostly sunny and mild.
I fed the birds. I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches plus a mourning dove. The thistle feeder was about half empty.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 8/2/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
EDIT 8/2/25 -- I took some pictures of the metal tray birdfeeder.
EDIT 8/2/25 -- I watered the old picnic table plants.
EDIT 8/2/25 -- I visited the Charleston Food Forest. Grapes are ripe, which is why we went. These are tiny white grapes -- pea size or a little bigger -- seedless and very sweet. :D I picked 3 bunches and there are plenty left for other folks. I also got a few asparagus berries, a few white marigold heads, and quite a bit of wild indigo seedpods. Some wild indigo has tiny bluish seedpods, while others have thumb-sized brown seedpods.
One of the peach trees has completely overgrown the path behind the welcome sign and is covered in peaches. They are still hard and green. I hope that I can get some from that tree when they ripen, in hopes of sprouting the seeds.
EDIT 8/2/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
EDIT 8/2/25 -- I trimmed around the goddess garden. One of the silver thyme plants is almost white now. :D
As it is getting dark, I am done for the night.
