Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is partly sunny and mild.

I haven't fed the birds yet. I've seen a few sparrows and house finches. Recently the house finches have been all over the thistle feeder.

EDIT 5/31/25 -- I fed the birds. I've seen a grackle and a robin.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 5/31/25 -- I pulled and trimmed weeds around the purple-and-white garden.

EDIT 5/31/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 5/31/25 -- I pulled and trimmed more weeds around the purple-and-white garden.

EDIT 5/31/25 -- I pulled and trimmed more weeds around the purple-and-white garden. I am most of the way around the outside now.

EDIT 5/31/25 -- I finished trimming weeds around the outside of the purple-and-white garden.

EDIT 5/31/25 -- I started trimming weeds inside of the purple-and-white garden.

I've seen a male cardinal and a male fox squirrel. Several sparrows were splashing in the red birdbath. I've seen a skunk on the patio.

EDIT 5/31/25 -- I watered the patio plants.

Privet is blooming, with a heavy, honeyed scent, a little salty.

I've seen two bats flying around the edges of the yard, and the first several fireflies. :D
