Today is mostly sunny and hot.
I fed the birds. I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches plus a mourning dove.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 7/4/25 -- I checked the south lot and put topsoil in a few low spots, prior to our fireworks show tonight.
EDIT 7/4/25 -- I picked up a trough pot that fell off the old picnic table, restored the curry plant and purple basil as best I could, then watered them and a few other things in the house yard.
EDIT 7/4/25 -- I sowed 6 pots with
mulberry seeds. Half are from a particularly pleasing mulberry sapling near the west end of the old fishpond, the other half from a mulberry that was left on the porch step as if a gift.
EDIT 7/4/25 -- I watered the telephone pole garden and a few seedlings in the savanna.
My partner Doug mowed the ritual meadow and prairie paths.
EDIT 7/4/25 -- I picked a handful of herbs to make a skillet scramble for supper.
EDIT 7/4/25 -- I picked a handful of blackberries in the prairie garden. There are plenty left; I ran out of heat tolerance long before I ran out of berries. :D
Cicadas are singing.
EDIT 7/4/25 -- I picked a handful of blackberries in the prairie garden. Still more left, but I'll have to hunt those another day, because it is still hot and the sun is about to set.
