Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is warm and wet with variable cloud cover.  It's been raining off and on.

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

I put out water for the birds.

My plant shipment from American Meadows arrived today.

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

EDIT 4/25/25 -- I planted the 'Deutschland' Astilbes. It was supposed to be a bag of 2 but there were 3 full-sized roots (quite large) plus 1 finger-sized root with a sprout, so I put them all in the forest garden. These will put up big plumes of tiny ivory flowers with intense vanilla smell. And my 2 from last year have sprouted too!

I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, a blue jay, and a cardinal.

EDIT 4/25/25 -- I planted 25 pink rain lilies in the telephone pole garden.

I've seen a mourning dove and a red-bellied woodpecker.  :D

EDIT 4/25/25 -- I planted the Pink Hawaiian Coral Peony under the maple tree.

It's starting to sprinkle again.

EDIT 4/25/25 -- I planted the Creme de Cassis Hollyhock in the telephone pole garden.

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