Today is partly cloudy and chilly with blustery wind.

I fed the birds.  I've seen several sparrows and house finches plus a mourning dove.

I put out water for the birds.

3/13/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

3/13/26 -- I moved the 16 water jug greenhouses from the parking lot to near the barrel garden.  Many of them have sprouts inside now!  :D

I am done for the night.

There will be a bonus fishbowl on Tuesday, March 17. The theme will be "anything goes." If you want a continuation of an earlier piece, or something totally new, that doesn't fit the usual themes, then now's your chance. Brainstorm in advance and jot down ideas for later. You can also request any favorite series, character, setting, etc.

Today is mostly sunny and chilly.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a few sparrows and house finches.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- I planted the first 2 of 6 'Patriot' hostas in the purple-and-white garden.  These have green leaves with a wide white margin.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- I planted 2 hostas in the forest garden.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- I planted the last 2 hostas in the log garden.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- I sprayed weed killer on the sprouting stumps in the parking lot.

I've seen a large mixed flock of sparrows and house finches.  There are many more house finches now than last month.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- My partner Doug found someone to come out and remove stumps from the parking lot, path to the east edge of the yard, and in front of the shed.  Also he's going to take down the last two saplings in front of the garage.  We have price and a date for next Thursday. :D 3q3q3q!!!

I filled a bag with loose cans and other garbage that had collected in the parking lot.  Still more to do, but it's a good start.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 3/12/26 -- I filled another bag with loose cans from the parking lot.  I think that's all the small stuff that I can clear quickly.

I am done for the night.

I'm reminded of Ash coding in ternary for Schrodinger's Heroes.

This year I'm doing Community Thursdays. Some of my activity will involve maintaining communities I run, and my favorites. Some will involve checking my list of subscriptions and posting in lower-traffic ones. Today I have interacted with the following communities...


* Posted "Wildlife" in first_nations_freaks.

* Commented on "Seed Starting" in gardening.

* Commented on "Check-In Post - March 11th 2026" in get_knitted.

This poem came out of the October 5, 2025 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by a prompt from dialecticdreamer. It also fills the "That felt weird." square in my 10-1-25 card for the Fall Festival Bingo. This poem has been sponsored by Anthony Barrette. It belongs to the Polychrome Heroics series.
