Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is mostly sunny and warm.

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

I put out water for the birds and watered a few plants.

EDIT 5/25/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 5/25/26 -- I started trimming around the telephone pole garden.  The grass is so tall that it's still wet (presumably from dew) midday on a hot sunny day. >_<  I only got one side done.

Then I remembered that I only have a little bit of topsoil left.  I was going to restock bagged goods but we haven't had a chance recently.  *sigh*  So it's either wait on that part for later, run out to get some, or try to haul the giant bag meant for the hollow by the garden shed clear across the yard.  Probably wait, because trimming the grass and digging out weeds will take ... most of the day, I suspect.

EDIT 5/25/26 -- I did more trimming around the telephone pole garden.  I cleared the south end.

EDIT 5/25/26 -- I did more trimming around the telephone pole garden.  I cleared the west side.  I still need to do some cleanup of the north end near the telephone pole, but that's mostly Asiatic lilies.

EDIT 5/25/26 -- I finished trimming around the telephone pole garden.  I cleared the north end.  Next I need to dig around the edge and pull out encroaching weeds.

EDIT 5/25/26 -- I started digging and pulling weeds around edges of the telephone pole garden.  I cleared the east edge.

EDIT 5/25/26 -- I did more digging and pulling weeds around edges of the telephone pole garden.  I only got about halfway through the short south end before hitting a huge clump of grass and giving up.  I need the shovel for that.  :/

EDIT 5/25/26 -- I did more digging and pulling weeds around edges of the telephone pole garden.  Using the shovel, I finished the south end and did part of the west edge.

EDIT 5/25/26 -- I did more digging and pulling weeds around edges of the telephone pole garden.  Using the shovel, I finished the west edge.  The north doesn't need as much work in that regard, so I'm basically done with the edging.  The middle still has a lot of weeds, but I'll do that another day.

EDIT 5/25/26 -- We picked up bagged goods from Rural King.  They're out of suitable topsoil, so I just got 3 bags of potting soil; and I had to substitute a more expensive brand of compost.

EDIT 5/25/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

I watered some plants around the house yard, mostly the barrel garden and the goddess garden.
