Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is cloudy and mild.

I fed the birds. I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 3/25/26 -- We visited the Charleston Food Forest and Coles County Community Garden.

On the way into town, we saw a herd of deer and a tortoiseshell fox. Very clearly a fox, with a white tail-tip, but with streaks and patches of black and cinnamon; not the usual rust-red of a red fox nor the salt-and-pepper of a gray fox. Fascinating. Excellent camouflage.

EDIT 3/25/26 -- I planted two clumps of crosne knotroots, one by the maple tree and one in a pot on the new picnic garden.

EDIT 3/25/26 -- I planted five clumps of Egyptian walking onions including below the barrel garden, mulberry tree in the house yard, and several saplings in the savanna.

EDIT 3/25/26 -- I planted groundnuts in a trough pot and a large pot by the new picnic table garden, and under the apricot tree.

EDIT 3/25/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

It's been drizzling on and off today.

I am done for the night.
