Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is sunny and warm, a beautiful spring day. :D It was 71°F outside last I checked.

I fed the birds. I've seen a small mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, as well as cardinals flying around the yard.

I put out water for the birds.

I also set out the crosne knotroots to get some sun.

I walked around the yard a bit. More miniature irises are blooming now, including a couple of the almost-black ones. :D Bees, flies, and other tiny insects are swarming the flowers.

EDIT 3/13/25 -- I made the measurements of the new posts, along with size comparisons of fixtures and supplies I already have, as part of working on plans for the potting bench.

I've seen a flock of blackbirds.

EDIT 3/13/25 -- I put the two translucent tubs over the pot trays on the new picnic table.

I took a few pictures of miniature irises that are now blooming in more colors, plus a bumblebee.

EDIT 3/13/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

Squirrels have heavily excavated the ground in the forest garden. It looks like the face of the moon.

EDIT 3/13/25 -- I raked leaves from the front of the log garden and hauled them to the savanna for mulch.

I've seen several mourning doves, assorted blackbirds, and a male cardinal.

EDIT 3/13/25 -- I started raking leaves from the tulip bed and hauled them to the savanna for mulch.

I saw a squirrel jump from the house to the forest garden and then groom itself. :D

EDIT 3/13/25 -- I raked more leaves from the tulip bed.

EDIT 3/13/25 -- I finished raking leaves from the tulip bed. \o/

*goflopnow* I am done for the night.
