Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is partly cloudy and warm.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.

I put out water for the birds.  The honeybees had drained the metal birdbath again.

EDIT 9-3-25 -- My partner Doug re-mowed the ritual meadow, prairie garden path, and south lot.

 

EDIT 9-3-25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

 

EDIT 9-3-25 -- I did more work around the patio.

I picked 2 yellow pear tomatoes, 2 red cherry tomatoes, and a whole handful of groundcherries.  :D

 

EDIT 9-3-25 -- I watered the telephone pole garden, savanna seedlings, patio plants, irises, and new picnic table.

 

Then I noticed that the cap of the septic tank was ajar, so we had to wrestle that mostly back in place.

 

I also saw a bunch of moths busily pollinating the sunflowers!  :D  That never occurred to me.  I guess it makes sense, because sunflowers don't close at night, but "sunflower + moth" is really not an obvious connection.  I would say, if you wish to plant sunflowers in your moth garden, choose light yellow to white ones.  Those will be easier to see than the orange to red range.

 

Cicadas and crickets are singing.

 

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