    It wasn’t absurdly cold yet today so I ran out and got groceries…along with everyone else if the lines were anything to go by. 😵‍💫 Hopefully that’s all I need to go out for for the near future. This looks like an excellent weekend to stay home and browse seed sites!

    I went to a local pollinator plant club event and helped package seeds today. If only I could get the same level of motivation to finish packing up my own. 🤪

    Most of my seeds have broken ground! ❤️ I moved them under the grow lights, 🙏 they do better than last year!

    Feeding Wild Birds
