Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is partly sunny, breezy, and warm.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a flock of house finches.

EDIT 6/26/23 -- I put out water for the birds and watered a few plants.

EDIT 6/26/23 -- A late plant arrived, Annabelle Hydrangea.  I cleared a place to plant it in a row of flowering shrubs in the yard by the house.

EDIT 6/26/23 -- I planted the hydrangea and watered it in.

EDIT 6/26/23 -- I picked a third of a bag of mulberries along the east and south sides of the yard.  Production is winding down.

Purple echinacea and something that looks like a giant, wild bergamot are blooming in the wildflower garden.  Cosmos are blooming in the notch of the prairie garden.  Blackberries are ripening.  Black raspberries are almost done.

EDIT 6/26/23 --  I watered a few plants.

I cleaned up after last night's fireworks.  There wasn't much mess, just a few bits of scattered paper and the pile of char left by the Amazing Bad Ass.  I found an old fast food container, scraped the char into that, then bagged it for disposal.  I also picked up the two concrete pavers.  Surprisingly, the grass underneath was still green, with only a few charred spots where the fire spilled over. 

6/26/23 -- I hauled a load of cut brush to the ritual meadow.

6/26/23 -- I hauled another load of cut brush to the ritual meadow.

6/26/23 -- I hauled another load of cut brush to the ritual meadow.  That's the last of the walnut trimmings from the south lot.

EDIT 6/26/23 --  I watered the tulip bed and its grass notch.

6/26/23 -- I hauled another load of cut brush to the ritual meadow.

Fireflies are coming out.

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