Birdfeeding
Nov. 3rd, 2025 12:44 pmToday is mostly sunny and mild.
I fed the birds. I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.
I put out water for the birds.
My air plants arrived! :D So today I need to assemble the lantern terrarium.
EDIT 11/3/25 -- I took some pictures around the yard and started laying out pieces for the lantern terrarium.
EDIT 11/3/25 -- I've been working on the lantern terrarium, trimming the branch that will go inside and testing a few air plants to fit it. Currently I have it soaking in a tray of water to rehydrate the lichens.
EDIT 11/3/25 -- I've done more work on the lantern terrarium. I have the main branch soaked, and I picked up some more twigs and chips in hopes of creating more spaces to lodge the air plants. I've glued the first piece in place, the chip I cut off the bottom end.
While I was outside, I saw the great horned owl and heard it hooting. Then I heard a shriek. A baby owl! :D 3q3q3q!!! I am 99% certain that the conversation translates to this:
Baby: "I'm hungry!"
Mama: "Shh. Go to sleep. Shh."
Baby: "FEED ME!"
Mama: "It is the middle of the DAY. Now GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP."
EDIT 11/3/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
EDIT 11/3/25 -- I did more work around the patio.

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