Apr. 6th, 2020 02:48 amI had yard time again today, and lasted about four hours... I did take a lot of breaks in there, but, thats just common sense. I got another raised bed cleaned up, and planted with spinach starts. I remembered to put the slug bait down in the beds I have planted, I weeded a lot in odd places I walked by, I hauled bags of cow poo to top off two beds and I planted up some pots. I have two beds left to clean up, and redirt, and I have been working on the garden pathway, burrowing rodents have pushed dirt up and really made the ground uneven around the raised beds, so I was digging and hoeing on that issue. I have been pulling out the raspberry volunteer runners from next door and bagging them up to give to T next week if she comes up for her doctor appt. I am hoping her pain doc gets real and just gives her 60 days instead of 30 or does the appt by telephone. Her health isnt the best and she has a lot of underlying issues that could kill her without getting the virus.
I refilled all the bird feeders, I saw a lot more of last years hatchlings out there, between the quail and the doves, its all good. I even saw two bunnies! I hadnt seen any of the bunbuns for quite awhile, so I was worried that the Tigger kitty, the raptors and the coyotes had done them all in. These were two good sized (for wild rabbits) adults with winter coats, and one even had a black spot on its flank.
There was that one incident of duck on duck violence, I had a pair of mallards feeding and just hanging out where I put the seed down, and another mallard male flew in and landed and then the fight was on. I really was concerned that one of them would be injured, and was getting up to take care of that.. when the fight broke up. Lots of quaking, beaking and flapping. Then one walked off and pretended that the others didnt exist and the two original ducks just went back to hanging out and resting.
I did have a vist from his Royal Tiggerness today, but he didnt stick around, he was a very busy kitty.
Checked in with various peeps, all is well in my world on that point.
