Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is sunny and mild.  It rained off and on yesterday evening and night.

I fed the birds.  I've seen several sparrows, a pair of cardinals, a pair of house finches, a mourning dove, and a fox squirrel.  Outside I heard but did not see at least two bluejays in different places and what is probably a collared dove.

I picked up sticks from the west end of the south lot and dragged branches to the ritual meadow.  Today's main focus will be clearing as much as possible of the strip between the house and the treeline that edges the south lot, which is a ton of work.  

EDIT 4/21/23 -- I started trimming around the purple-and-white garden.

The first alliums are blooming with lavender spikes.  :D

EDIT 4/21/23 -- I did more trimming around the purple-and-white garden.

I've seen one of the  blue jays at the metal tray feeder in the forest garden.

EDIT 4/21/23 -- I did more trimming around the purple-and-white garden.

EDIT 4/21/23 -- I finished trimming around the purple-and-white garden. \o/  I wasn't sure I'd get that done today, so I'm ahead of the game.  Go me.

EDIT 4/21/23 -- I picked up trash along the south side of the house and pulled weeds there.

EDIT 4/21/32 -- I pulled more weeds along the south side of the house.

EDIT 4/21/32 -- I pulled more weeds along the south side of the house.  I still need to trim along the edge of the gardens, patio, and sidewalk as well as pick up a lot of sticks, but I made good progress today.

 

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