Birdfeeding

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today was sunny earlier but cloudy now. It's fairly mild though.

Before lunch, I took pictures of the spring flowers. Multiple lavender crocus and blooming in the goddess garden along with the winter aconite. Honeybees are out again. :D

After lunch, I fed the birds. I've seen a flock of sparrows and a male cardinal.

I put out water for the birds and refilled the puddles where bees were drinking yesterday.

Then I raked leaves off about half of the daffodil garden.

EDIT 2/21/24 -- I took more pictures.

I finished raking leaves off the daffodil garden.

EDIT 2/21/24 -- I took a few more pictures.

I collected leaves from the daffodil garden and hauled 3 trolley loads to dump around the oak seedlings.

As the sun is setting and I have finished today's planned task, I am done for the night.

When I went out this morning to go pick-up a breakfast sandwich my neighbors had a duck in their driveway. I felt like I'd seen everything. As far as I know there are no lakes in this neighborhood so IU have no idea where the duck came from.

That is awesome. Probably the duck was migrating and got tired, or possibly saw something it wanted to eat. Some of them will scrounge human food if it's dropped.

That's a better reason for there being a duck in the neighbor's driveway than the golf joke that I keep looking to find. My new neighborhood has a lot of golfers.
