Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is sunny and warm.

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

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 4/24/25 -- I took a few pictures around the yard.

I picked up sticks from the ritual meadow so it can be mowed.

EDIT 4/24/25 -- I moved most of the plants in flats outside for sun and water.

EDIT 4/24/25 -- I planted 2 'Success' juneberries in the west hedge of the savanna.   I still need to label, cover, and mulch them.

It's so hot out that it's hard for me to work.  It's 83F at present. O_O  And the last frost date is weeks away.  Fuck this.

EDIT 4/24/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

I've seen several sparrows and house finches.  I heard a blue jay but didn't see it.

EDIT 4/24/25 -- I spread topsoil around the serviceberries, covered them with jugs, labeled them, and mulched them.

I've seen a blue jay in the forest garden.  I heard a woodpecker but didn't see it.

EDIT 4/24/25 -- I saw a wren in the forest garden.

EDIT 4/24/25 -- I planted 2 select pawpaw seedlings at the south edge of the savanna.

EDIT 4/24/25 -- I spread topsoil around the pawpaws, covered them with jugs, labeled them, and mulched them.

I've seen several mourning doves.

EDIT 4/24/25 -- I watered the newly planted things.

I saw a lady cardinal at the hopper feeder.  A monarch butterfly visited the tulips around the barrel garden.  Bumblebees and honeybees have been busy all day.

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