I had a good day outside! Temps around 60 and sunny.
Today was the day for cutting down all the spent flower stems (that didn't have good seeds for the birds). I cut down the mums, the asters, the sedums, the other asters, the coneflowers, the monarda, the goldenrods, and the black-eyed susans. And I am leaving them in cages in the empty annual beds in case the birds can get something from them.
I filled the birdfeeder with sunflower seeds, the finch feeder with thistle, and set out suet. I have plans for a board to spread organic peanut butter on.
I swept the patio of blown-in leaves and dumped them on the lawn where I can shred them with the mower.
And I just stood outside looking at the yard. My yard. Lots of things still to do, but I was done for the day. The weather is supposed to be better the next few day. I'll be out there...

Wow! That is terrific! The birds (and the bird watchers) are going to love you!
I have a more onerous job, dog bombs that need to be picked up!

It is so satisfying getting a good days work done in the yard and the exercise feels good too! It also is a good way to work off frustration if you know what I mean!
