I'm installing a giant raised bed in my living room and replacing my pretty lamps with grow lights. I would love to get started on the gardens! Rain for the past 9 hours and no signs of stopping. BLAH.
My first truckload of compost arrived today. I'm so glad we got the new wheelbarrow, 'cause WOW that was a lot of hauling.
The birds are storming the feeders. I wrote down what I spotted today.

I realize I SUCK at sparrow ID.
Pittsburgh Penguins game 1 tomorrow night!!! I'm so excited!!!
i think MOST of us would suck at sparrow id! and a close second would be flycatcher id. they're too many and too names and tiny differences to keep apart!
ReplyDeleteSo. Jealous. Of. Your. Bird. Count.
ReplyDeleteWell, the flip side to all these birds and all the wildlife....a skunk is trying to eat my front gate and has been coming onto the front porch. ACK.
ReplyDeleteWe've had too much rain lately too! I was surprised that the creeks weren't out of their banks this morning. You sure did have lots of birds at your house!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to 'meet' another hockey fan. There aren't too many of us, and we have to stick together ... though you cheer for the wrong team ... go Caps!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog and leaving such a kind comment. I am touched, and I appreciate it more than you know.

That's a lot of different birds. You are very lucky to have so many. I think we got your rain here, today.
