The Wordsmith's Forge

Today is cloudy and wet.  It's been raining this morning.

I haven't fed the birds yet but I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.

EDIT 5/12/25 -- I fed the birds.

EDIT 5/12/25 -- We went out shopping.  I picked up 2 partial flats of plants, 4 concrete pavers, 4 short tomato cages, and a package of plastic stakes to use as cheap hose guides.  Sadly I did not find any 'Gypsy' peppers, but I found a different Italian sweet pepper to try, and 2 of the excellent 'Chocolate Sprinkles' cherry tomatoes from last year.

When we pulled into the driveway at home, a male indigo bunting flew across the driveway, and there was another small brown bird that may have been a female.  :D

I put out the flats of plants.

EDIT 5/12/25 -- I went to go outside for some yardwork, but it is raining again.  :/  Ah well, at least it didn't rain while we were out and about.

EDIT 5/12/25 -- It stopped raining enough for me to do a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 5/12/25 -- I sowed cypress vine seeds around the support wire of the telephone pole.

As everything is still soaked, I am done for the night.
