Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is cloudy, mild, and wet.  It rained enough to make puddles earlier, let up just long enough to get outside a bit, then started raining again.  I can hear thunder.  We need the rain, especially after yesterday's seed sowing.  It's supposed to get hot later.

I fed the birds.  The windows are too wet to see through, so I'm not sure of activity.

EDIT 6/8/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio during a break in the rain.  It was pouring for at least an hour, most of the patio underwater, and lighter rain most of the rest of the day. 

The birds seem to be hiding somewhere, very sensible of them.

EDIT 6/8/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 6/8/26 -- I went outside to check on things.  There are large floodles in the field west of us, one of which flows over the road to the south.  This is normal for spring, but not for June. 0_o

It started drizzling again, so I am done for the night.

We are still in a dry spell with nearly drought conditions here in the Northeast. It's odd since it has rained quite a few weekends, but not significant amounts of rain plus it was a very snowy winter.

Yes ...

Most of the country was in some stage of "too dry" for the early part of this year. At least my part is no longer in that category. But I wonder, because there have been times it said not, while I was observing signs of dramatic water shortage.
