Birdfeeding
Apr. 23rd, 2026 01:29 pmToday is sunny and hot, with fluffy white clouds in the sky.
I fed the birds. I've seen a few house finches.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 4/23/26 -- I took some pictures around the yard.
EDIT 4/23/26 -- I refilled potting soil into the hollow logs at the front of the log garden. Then I planted a 4-pack of white impatiens in the holes.
I put the flats of plants outside to get some sun.
I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches plus a male cardinal.
EDIT 4/23/26 -- I watered the impatiens and flats of plants.
I've seen a starling at the hopper feeder.
EDIT 4/23/26 -- I potted up four green sweet basil plants and one purple ruffles basil, then watered them.
I've seen a fox squirrel at the hopper feeder.
EDIT 4/23/26 -- We hauled the new bag of grass seed out of the car.
EDIT 4/23/26 -- I sowed grass seed in the big bare patch at the west edge of the south lot.
EDIT 4/23/26 -- We hauled out the tape hose and the new sprinkler head. There is not enough hose to reach the grass patch, and with the low water pressure that we have, the spray only covers about 6 feet wide. *sigh*
EDIT 4/23/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
