Birdfeeding
Feb. 17th, 2026 02:54 pmToday is cloudy and dim, chilly and damp.
I fed the birds. I've seen a flock of sparrows and a female cardinal.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 2/17/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
EDIT 2/17/26 -- I raked the leaves off the rain garden. Underneath I found not just a lot more shoots, but the first tiny lavender buds of crocus! :D
EDIT 2/17/26 -- I trimmed off the dead stems from the 'Autumn Joy' sedum in the maple garden and purple-and-white garden, plus peonies in the purple-and-white garden. I still need to trim the sedum in the septic garden.
EDIT 2/17/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
I am done for the night.
