Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is mostly sunny and hot.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches plus a mourning dove.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 7/4/25 -- I checked the south lot and put topsoil in a few low spots, prior to our fireworks show tonight.

EDIT 7/4/25 -- I picked up a trough pot that fell off the old picnic table, restored the curry plant and purple basil as best I could, then watered them and a few other things in the house yard.

EDIT 7/4/25 -- I sowed 6 pots with mulberry seeds.  Half are from a particularly pleasing mulberry sapling near the west end of the old fishpond, the other half from a mulberry that was left on the porch step as if a gift.

EDIT 7/4/25 -- I watered the telephone pole garden and a few seedlings in the savanna.

My partner Doug mowed the ritual meadow and prairie paths.

EDIT 7/4/25 -- I picked a handful of herbs to make a skillet scramble for supper.

 

EDIT 7/4/25 -- I picked a handful of blackberries in the prairie garden.  There are plenty left; I ran out of heat tolerance long before I ran out of berries.  :D

 

Cicadas are singing.

EDIT 7/4/25 -- I picked a handful of blackberries in the prairie garden.  Still more left, but I'll have to hunt those another day, because it is still hot and the sun is about to set.

 

EDIT 7/4/25 -- We did our home fireworks show.  :D  I'm sure it confused the bats and the fireflies.

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