Today is cloudy and mild.  It drizzled again last night, and this afternoon while we were out but fortunately in the car.

I fed the birds.  I put up a new ear of corn.  I've seen several house finches. 

I put out water for the birds and watered a few plants.

EDIT 9/29/24 -- I raked a section of the trimmed grass.  I still have one more section to do.  No luck finding the hand clippers that dropped there yesterday.  >_<

EDIT 9/29/24 -- I finished raking the trimmed grass. 

EDIT 9/29/24 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 9/29/24 -- I started planting daffodil bulbs and false indigo seeds along the newly trimmed and raked strip.

On the way back to the house, I saw a flock of bluejays in the parking lot.  :D  I saw at least 4 at once, but the way they moved around made me suspect 6 or more.

EDIT 9/29/24 -- I did more planting along the cleared strip.

As it is almost time for supper, I am done for the night.

ysabetwordsmith: (moment of silence)
Singer / songwriter / actor Kris Kristofferson has passed away. His songs included "Jody and the Kid," "Lovin' Her Was Easier (than Anything I'll Ever Do Again)," "Me and Bobby McGee," "The Pilgrim: Chapter 33," "They Killed Him," and "To Beat the Devil." He starred in films including Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, A Star Is Born, Semi-Tough, Heaven's Gate. and Lone Star.

I'm betting Jesus meets him in full-on hippie mode.  Probably dressed up as the Pilgrim.
