Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today 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 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.
