Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is sunny with a light breeze.  It is pleasantly mild in shade, considerably warmer in sun.

I fed the birds.  I've seen doves, house finches, Bob the Squirrel, and another squirrel.

I cleared 3 places to plant privets in the savanna.  Still need to clear another space; there are 4 privets left.  I was hoping to plant them all today.

However, in our enthusiasm over the Indian curry with mushrooms and black-eyed peas, we neglected to compare its cooking time against our workload this week.  So there goes an hour and a half of daylight, in the kitchen  :/  Also I didn't check the amount in the recipe against the amount in the bag, and presoaked all of the black-eyed peas, which is about twice what we need.  We'll need to cut them in half, then use the rest to make ham-n-beans tomorrow.  We have a bulk bag of prechopped raw bacon in the freezer, so we can use that, and smoky spices to vary the flavor.

EDIT 6/4/21 -- I cleared another space for a privet.

EDIT 6/4/21 -- I planted 3 privets in the savanna, only to discover that there are several extras in the bundle that was supposed to hold 10.  *headdesk*

EDIT 6/4/21 -- I managed to plant the rest of the privets.  They still need more attention, but at least they're in the ground.

EDIT 6/4/21 -- I put covers over the remaining privets and topsoil around some of them.
