Life is full of things which are hard or tedious or otherwise unpleasant that need doing anyhow. They help make the world go 'round, they improve skills, and they boost your sense of self-respect. But doing them still kinda sucks. It's all the more difficult to do those things when nobody appreciates it. Happily, blogging allows us to share our accomplishments and pat each other on the back.

What are some of the hard things you've done recently? What are some hard things you haven't gotten to yet, but need to do? Is there anything your online friends could do to make your hard things a little easier?

Today was sunny earlier but cloudy now. It's fairly mild though.

Before lunch, I took pictures of the spring flowers. Multiple lavender crocus and blooming in the goddess garden along with the winter aconite. Honeybees are out again. :D

After lunch, I fed the birds. I've seen a flock of sparrows and a male cardinal.

I put out water for the birds and refilled the puddles where bees were drinking yesterday.

Then I raked leaves off about half of the daffodil garden.

EDIT 2/21/24 -- I took more pictures.

I finished raking leaves off the daffodil garden.

EDIT 2/21/24 -- I took a few more pictures.

I collected leaves from the daffodil garden and hauled 3 trolley loads to dump around the oak seedlings.

As the sun is setting and I have finished today's planned task, I am done for the night.

I took more photos in my yard today. These are from the house yard and the western end of the savanna.
