Birdfeeding
Jun. 15th, 2026 12:40 pmToday is partly cloudy and mild.
I fed the birds. I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 6/15/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
The golden rain tree is blooming.
EDIT 6/15/26 -- I potted up 7 Jonagold sprouts in two pots. I have a lot of stratified sprouts that I need to pot up. :D
EDIT 6/15/26 -- I potted up 3 Granny Smith sprouts in one pot.
EDIT 6/15/26 -- I picked up branches along the south side of the driveway and put them in the firepit. I was unable to clear the whole length due to several huge branches and overall amount of cut brush. *sigh* But more is clear than it was.
We have decided to use the northeast corner of the parking lot as a staging area for chippable brush that is too green for the firepit.
EDIT 6/15/26 -- I potted up 7 Ambrosia apple sprouts in two pots.
EDIT 6/15/26 -- I potted up 30 Ginger Gold apple sprouts in six pots.
EDIT 6/15/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 6/15/26 -- I potted up 3 yellow pear sprouts in one pot.
EDIT 6/15/26 -- I hauled the cut brush from the white garden to the northeast corner of the parking lot.
I walked around the yard a bit. Hundreds of fireflies are coming out. Some are in the fields, but more are in the grass and bushes in my yard. :D I saw at least one bat flying overhead too.
EDIT 6/15/26 -- We went out skywatching. We spotted Venus and Jupiter, but not Mercury or the first crescent moon.
As it is now dark, I am done for the night.
