Birdfeeding

Today is sunny and hot.  In the shade, it's cooler.

I fed the birds.  I've seen house finches and grackles at the feeders today.  I also saw an indigo bunting in the prairie garden.  \o/

I walked around the yard and planted more cypress vine around the support wire.  I found one ripe wild strawberry to eat.  :D  The first of the daylilies are blooming.  So is some puffy white thing in the wildflower garden, and the spiderwort has buds.

By the time I got back to the house -- let's say 10 minutes -- the thistle sock was almost empty.  <3 my little flying pigs.

EDIT 6/10/21 -- I took pictures in my yard.

EDIT 6/10/21 -- I picked a bag of mulberries and a handful of serviceberries.

EDIT 6/10/21 -- I put saucers under pots and watered those, then watered other plants in the ground.

The air is still warm and moist, now filling with fireflies.  Very pretty.

Coping Skills: Read

Folks have mentioned an interest in questions and conversations that make them think. So I've decided to offer more of those. This is the current list of coping skills.

11. Read.

This is one of my main coping skills.  :D  I use fiction, nonfiction, all kinds of stuff.
