Birdfeeding

Today is sunny and hot.

I fed the birds.

I saw at least 2 monarch butterflies.  There haven't been many butterflies this summer, although I've seen more birds. 

EDIT 7/3/20 -- We dragged away a pile of brush that the tree guys left behind, dropping it on the mulch pile where it's less in the way.

EDIT 7/3/20 -- I raked grass in the south lot.

EDIT 7/3/20 -- I went back out.  There were lots of fireflies tonight.  Also lots of fireworks, too many and intermittent to count, but at least a dozen places, including a few to the west.  Most of the activity was still to the south.  Lots of people had Roman candles and other ground-based repeaters tonight.  For a little while, someone was lighting peonies nearby.  I also happened to be looking in the right direction when someone lit a 5x5 and I was able to count the blasts.  That was awesome.  :D

Recipe: "Turkey and Swiss Meatloaf"
