I got a few things done today. Still working on the laundry, but I did more important things! I didn’t take pictures of leaf blowing, or figuring out why the pond was losing water, but I did that stuff, too.

Drilled a drainage hole in Wren Manor, stuffed in some crabapple shavings, and mounted it on the gradge. Now, when they try to get in the vent and can’t, they’ll have another option.

I found a piece of osage-orange the right size for a longer feeder, so bigger birds like RBW won’t feel cramped. I stuffed it with the suet I made last night. Two holes all the way through holds about half a block.

Osage-orange is a bitch; it’s hard and also hard on tools used to cut it. Does make cool bright yellow shavings, though.

I got a coat of primer and one coat of stone texture paint on Poor Palmzilla’s cachepot. I ran out of paint, but Amazon has it.

Now, stuff I didn’t directly do.

My microscopic grass is growing well.

Creeping phlox thinks it’s spring.

Borage thinks it’s summer.

Gaillardia in Sarah-Flah’s garden won’t get to bloom because it’s getting too close to freezing at night, but it still tried its best. I hope it survives the winter.
