Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is partly sunny, breezy, and quite warm. It's 76℉ already.

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

I put out water for the birds.

The first hostas have sprouted, and more bluebells are putting up leaves.  More things are sprouting in the water jugs too.  The first daffodils are blooming under the maple tree.

EDIT 3/10/26 -- I put out my indoor flat of fruit tree sprouts to get some sun and air.

I took pictures around the yard.

EDIT 3/10/26 -- It's 79℉ now.  Earlier was overly warm; now it's just plain hot  even with a brisk breeze.  We had to turn on the air conditioning.  In early March.  Fuck climate change. >_<

We hauled the two bags of topsoil from the car to the old picnic table bench.  We put the solid-top pallet in the garden shed.

EDIT 3/10/26 -- I trimmed the woody stems from the wildflower garden.  Lots of miniature irises are blooming there.  :D

EDIT 3/10/26 -- I started trimming woody stems from the septic garden.

EDIT 3/10/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

I brought in the fruit tree sprouts.  I've seen a fox squirrel bounding across the ground.

EDIT 3/10/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 3/10/26 -- I finished trimming woody stems from the septic garden.

I am done for the night.
