Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is sunny, chilly, and calm -- much nicer than yesterday!  :D

I fed the birds.  I haven't seen any yet though.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 2/25/26 -- I trimmed the north edge of the wildflower garden.  Previously I did the west edge.

The male catkins on the hazelnut bush are beginning to open up, but the tiny red female flowers aren't open yet.

EDIT 2/25/26 -- I trimmed the east edge of the wildflower garden.  

EDIT 2/25/26 -- I trimmed the south edge of the wildflower garden.  I'll still need to clear the middle and rake off the loose leaves, but that's less urgent since the spring flowers will emerge near the edges.  In the process, I uncovered the dark purple leaves of a <a href="https://www.thespruce.com/penstemon-care-1316041">penstemon</a> that I planted last year.  :D  It won't bloom for quite a while yet, as these are usually late spring to early summer flowers, but already it makes a lovely accent in the bed.  The leaves are only about half the size of my hand, but the whole plant is easily a foot across.

 

EDIT 2/25/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
