Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is mostly sunny and sweltering.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a few house finches and sparrows.

EDIT 8/18/25 -- I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 8/18/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

I've seen a hummingbird in the forest garden.  I couldn't tell more detail than that, but presumably it is a rubythroat as that is the only kind typically found in Illinois.  It may have been attracted to the water, or the robust colony of red salvia blooming in the barrel garden.

 

EDIT 8/18/25 -- I did a more work around the patio.

 

EDIT 8/18/25 -- I potted up 24 sweet cherry seeds.

 

EDIT 8/18/25 -- I watered the old picnic table and the patio plants.

 

EDIT 8/18/25 -- I watered the new picnic table garden.

 

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