Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is cloudy, mild, and wet.  It rained on and off yesterday, then stormed last night.  Everything is still soaked. 

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

I put out water for the birds.

More crocuses are blooming -- lavender, purple, white, and pale yellow.  :D  The grass, which in recent years has retained bits of green through the winter, is suddenly much more green with growing tips visible.

EDIT 3/5/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

 

It's mizzling rain again.

EDIT 3/5/26 -- I did a bit of work around the yard.

 

Many more flowers are blooming!  :D  There are buds of purple-and-white crocus in the rain garden and orange in the goddess garden.  The first miniature irises are blooming periwinkle and red-violet in the tulip bed.

EDIT 3/5/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

 

I've seen a female cardinal at the hopper feeder.

 

I am done for the night.
