Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is cloudy and warm with howling wind.  I'm frustrated because the wind makes it unfeasible to do yardwork outside, but I have a lot that needs doing.  Maybe it will calm down later.  Last night it rained a little bit.

I fed the birds.  I haven't seen much activity today.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 4/2/25 -- I managed to get a few more items for my antique jar terrarium: a piece of soft, wet, rotten wood; a piece of dry, hard, dead wood; and a piece of fresh, green, live wood.

I've seen a fox squirrel at the hopper feeder.

The Cornelian cherry is blooming in the forest yard.  Trilliums are up and have flower buds but aren't open yet.

EDIT 4/2/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

I picked up some dry, crumbled leaf litter to use in the terrarium.

EDIT 4/2/25 -- I installed the wood bits and leaf litter in the antique jar terrarium.

I've seen several house finches.

EDIT 4/2/25 -- I wetted a handful of sphagnum moss and stuck it in a container, loosely lidded, to see if it will regrow.

I am done for the night.

EDIT 4/2/25 -- It's starting to rain.
