Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today is cloudy and cool, in the low 60s.  :D  It rained again this morning.

I fed the birds.  I've seen house finches and doves, and I think a male goldfinch.  Yesterday I saw a male cardinal.

I pulled some weeds around the barrel garden.

Naked ladies are starting to bloom around the old fishpond.  Yesterday I thought there was only one stalk, but today I spotted several more.  Chicory and thistle are blooming around the savanna and prairie garden.  Read about the wildlife value of thistles.

EDIT 7/31/21 -- I pulled more weeds around the barrel garden.  The morning glories are still open.  :D  It's drizzling again, but not enough to dissuade me from working.

EDIT 7/31/21 -- I pulled more weeds around the barrel garden.

EDIT 7/31/21 -- I finished weeding around the barrel garden and started weeding around the septic garden.

EDIT 7/31/21 -- I pulled more weeds around the septic garden.  Everything is still soaking wet, but the weeds pull out easier that way.
