Today is partly sunny and sweltering.
I fed the birds. I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, a male cardinal, and a mourning dove.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 8/16/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

Crickets and cicadas are singing. Fireflies are out; I haven't seen them in a while.
There was a skunk in the south lot.

Our little flock of poults with mom have continued to visit the past week or so.
I've spotted a molting Cardinal and Blue Jay this week too. It has also been another warm week here in Rhode Island.

EDIT 8/12/25 -- I watered some plants on the old and new picnic tables that were wilting, then did the telephone pole garden and a few of the savanna seedlings. I'm annoyed that some plants are wilting so soon after copious watering, because I can't haul that hose around every day, or even every few days. >_<

EDIT 8/10/25 -- I watered the new picnic table and septic gardens. I didn't have energy or daylight to pick up the hose, though; I had to turn it off and just leave it out. :/ I'll try to reel it up tomorrow. It's exhausting to maneuver.
