Gorgeous day today
Lulu and I spent it puttering around outside -- she in the garden, me in the equipment barn organizing and cleaning up a bit. The majority of it is unheated so during the winter, stuff gets jammed in there instead of put away neatly and it's a couple of days setting things right.
Brought my PA system down to a community event and then went back to the house to do some more work - built a meatloaf which is in the oven now.
Heading out to do some more yardwork and unload the truck. The hummingbirds are now eating about three pints of nectar per day. Setting out some more feeders in a day or two as more move into the area.
Common house-flies have always been an issue here and just got turned onto
Arbico Organics. They sell a
parasitic wasp that feeds on the developing fly pupae. See if this works. Also setting up some bat houses and Mason Bee nests this year.
Planning a day by the river tomorrow -- supposed to be nice and warm so pack a picnic lunch and bring the dogs...
Meatloaf comes out of the oven in 40 minutes or so -- doing a salad and some left-over pasta with broccoli. More surfing after dinner.
