The Wordsmith's Forge

Today is partly sunny and mild.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 6/23/26 -- I finished cleaning out the last of the reusable containers from the refrigerator.  It could still use a wipedown, but the emptying part is done. \o/

I've seen a male cardinal at the hopper feeder.

EDIT 6/23/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 6/23/26 -- I picked up the bigger sticks in the house yard, filling the trolley which I dumped in the firepit.  What's left should be small enough to rake ... if the wind doesn't blow again.   Progress.

I heard bobwhite quail calling along the south edge of the yard.  :D

EDIT 6/23/26 -- I sprayed weeds in the south lot and parking lot.

EDIT 6/23/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 6/23/26 -- I started trimming grass around the east end of the new picnic table garden.

EDIT 6/23/26 -- I finished trimming grass around the east end of the new picnic table garden.

EDIT 6/23/26 -- I dragged branches to the chippable pile in the parking lot.

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