Birdfeeding

Today is cloudy and warm.

I fed the birds.  I've seen doves, house finches, and cardinals.

I planted 2 serviceberries on the edge of the savanna. 

EDIT 6/6/21 -- I put topsoil and covers on the serviceberries.  I also planted wildflower seeds in one spot in the prairie garden.  Grass there is over my head already.

Mulberries are ripe in the savanna.

EDIT 6/6/21 -- I picked a bag of mulberries.

EDIT 6/6/21 -- I planted wildflowers seeds in a second spot in the prairie garden.

To the north of us, a cloud was raining in a small area.  We're supposed to get rain tonight and tomorrow, which would be very welcome.

EDIT 6/6/21 -- I planted a pink dogwood in the streetside yard.

EDIT 6/6/21 -- I planted 3 gladioli, 5 blue poppy anemones, 5 exotica, and 5 brilliant freesias in the septic garden.

I saw some fireflies in the south lot, the first I've seen this year, although my partner Doug saw some earlier.

As it is now dark and I'm tired, I am done for the day.
