Today is partly sunny and mild.
I've seen a male rose-breasted grosbeak and a blue jay at the fly-through feeder. :D
EDIT 5/7/25 -- I fed the birds. I've seen a male indigo bunting, a male cardinal, and a brown thrasher.
I put out water for the birds. I dumped the red birdbath and refilled it. While I haven't seen any birds using it, the amount of dirt and algae in the water strongly implies that they are.
I put the flats of plants outside.
EDIT 5/7/25 -- We went out to pick up more garden supplies: 2 bags of potting soil, 1 bag of composted manure, and roughly 2 flats of plants. The weather has warmed up.
My partner Doug is going out to mow the house yard and some other places.
EDIT 5/7/25 -- I planted a purple-and-white striped Wave petunia in a pot by itself. I filled 2 green pots, each with 2 black pansies and 2 Johnny-jump-ups.
EDIT 5/7/25 -- I raked the center path of the prairie garden, then sowed it with grass and clover seed.
I brought in the flats of pots.
As it is now dark, I am done for the night. *goflopnow*
