Birdfeeding: Friends of a Feather Flock Together

Today is cloudy, windy, cold, and wet.  It rained a little last night.  It's been spitting off and on today.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a pair of house finches and a mourning dove.  Can't say I blame the rest for hiding though. 

Downside: It's no kind of day for yardening.

Upside: It's a beautiful day for writing, which I desperately need to do.

EDIT 4/30/23 -- I saw a male cardinal in the forest garden.

Today is partly sunny, breezy, and mild.

I fed the birds. Not much activity today; I've only seen a few sparrows.

We picked up three piles of grass in the south lot.

EDIT 4/29/23 -- I dug weeds out of the septic garden.

Today is sunny and warm. It never did rain last night. :/ It's a rather dry spring here, which does not bode well for summer.

Before lunch, I hauled water to the two patches of seed that I sowed yesterday.

After lunch, I fed the birds. I've seen several sparrows, two blue jays, a male cardinal, a robin, and a brown thrasher.

I planted the round-leaved dogwood in the forest yard near the driveway. It's covered but I still need to mulch and water it.

EDIT 4/28/23 -- I mulched and watered the round-leaved dogwood.

I've seen a pair of cardinals in the forest garden.

EDIT 4/28/23 -- I planted the pagoda dogwood along the north edge of the savanna. It's covered but I still need to mulch and water it.

EDIT 4/28/23 -- I planted the downy serviceberry along the north edge of the savanna, and covered it. Then I mulched that and the pagoda dogwood, and watered both.

This concludes planting from the Prairie Moon order.

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

Three Weeks for Dreamwidth runs April 25-May 15. This year, I'll be posting about birds in honor of birdfeeding. Today's topic is Woodpeckers.

Today is cloudy and mild.

I fed the birds. I've seen a flock of sparrows, a brown-headed cowbird, a mourning dove, and several fox squirrels at the hopper feeder or around the yard.

I started clearing sticks from the strip between the forest yard and the street. I didn't get very far before filling the trolley. :/

EDIT 4/25/23 -- I planted 2 nodding onions in the wildflower garden.

EDIT 4/25/23 -- I planted the pussy willow along the west edge of the yard. I got that covered and mulched, and watered it and the nodding onions.

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