Today is hot and steamy, not quite as bad as yesterday.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches plus the phlegmatic young fox squirrel.

I put out water for the birds.

I put out the flats of pots.

EDIT 5/16/25 -- We went to the Strawberry Festival.  On the way home, we stopped at Backyard Garden greenhouse and I picked up a flat of plants.

EDIT 5/16/25 -- I watered the flats of pots. 

EDIT 5/16/25 -- I was going to plant some African marigolds, but the wind started howling and I could see rain in the distance, so I brought everything back indoors.  Eh, at least the downdrafts made everything cooler.

I found a squirrel tail and a few tufts of fur, so I expect that the careless young fox squirrel became somebody's lunch.

EDIT 5/16/25 -- And now it's raining. \o/

EDIT 5/16/25 -- It rained off and on, then stopped.

I did a bit of work around the patio. 

I collected some microfauna and installed them in the cookie jar terrarium.

I planted 12 assorted yellow and orange African marigolds around the telephone pole garden.  Some of the seeds there are sprouting too.  :D

I've seen a male cardinal and a young fox squirrel.

As it is now dark, I am done for the night.

Today we went to Arthur's Strawberry Jam Spring Festival. It's not very big this year, only a couple of blocks, but that's okay because the weather was hot and steamy, and with a small event we actually did get to see it all.
