Birdfeeding

Today is cloudy and mild.

I fed the birds.  I've seen house finches and a squirrel.  A pair of red-tailed hawks are roosting in the Two Sisters at the east end of the south lot.  I've heard them screaming and seen them flying around.  :D 

I planted the package of "Enchanted Evening" tulips, 12 in the purple-and-white garden and 2 in the tulip bed by the parking lot.

EDIT 10/22/21 -- I planted 3 "Great White Trillium," one in the forest garden by the kitchen and two in the forest yard by the street.  I planted 10 "Orange Monarch Snow Crocus" in the goddess garden.

That's the last of the bulbs that I currently have.  I'm supposed to get more from my parents later.

EDIT 10/22/21 -- I carried 2 buckets of mulch to put on the purple-and-white garden.

As it is getting dark and I am tired, I'm done for the night.
