Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is mostly sunny, chilly, and breezy. It rained copiously yesterday, which should help restore water and make fall planting easier. Also while we were out at events, I saw a bald eagle. :D 3q3q3q!!! I hadn't seen any since spring, so that was exciting.

I fed the birds. I haven't seen any activity today.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 10/19/25 -- I planted 7 'White Emperor" tulips in the purple-and-white garden.

EDIT 10/19/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 10/19/25 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 10/19/25 -- I cleaned seeds from the butternut squash and set them to dry. I got a lot of seed from that one tiny squash, probably 2-3 packets worth.

EDIT 10/19/25 -- I planted 6 'Decoy' daffodils in the daffodil bed. These are supposed to be white with red cups, and there was an extra in the bag.

EDIT 10/19/25 -- I planted 5 'Kiwi Sunset' daffodils in the daffodil bed. These are double daffodils with yellow petals and double orange-and-yellow pompom cups.

As it is almost suppertime, I am done for the night.

Wow! I haven't seen any Bald Eagles this year.

Yes ...

They have moved back into our area after a long absence. I suspect the 1000+ acre Warbler Ridge and the marsh park up near Danville have contributed to this.

We have a few along large ponds but not too many close to me. Sometimes there is a pair on a nearby golf course during the winter.
