Birdfeeding

Today is partly sunny, breezy, and cool.  It rained off and on yesterday and last night.  The fields are still flooded.  The wind is doing a good job of drying out the grass, though.

I fed the birds.

I've seen a flock of sparrows, two mourning doves, a male cardinal, and a fox squirrel.

I walked around the yard.  More bushes are beginning to leaf out, and more daffodils are blooming.  :D  I flushed a rabbit out from under the hazelnut bush. 

EDIT 3/25/23 -- I picked up a fallen branch the size of a small tree and dragged it to the ritual meadow.
