The to-do list I set for myself today was a little bit long, so I didn't expect to finish it. One item I gave myself a time limit to only work so long on. I ignored that and got a small section of the front triangle weeded and then planted. I moved the wild sweet William and tried to make that the center of the triangle. Around that I planted some of the iris, daylily and lily-of-the-valley from the thinning I did a week or two ago. I also planted some of the paper white bulbs I got from my aunt over the summer. There were a few bulbs that I found while taking out the weeds that I replanted and then a few more from the package I bought this year. Wow! Hopefully I will do something similar to the rest of the triangle area before it gets too cold.

- At first glance I thought the bird was a sparrow. Zed pointed out to me the pretty yellow spots though and I looked up. Lens thinks that the bird is a yellow-rumped warbler and a small search agrees that it is a warbler.

- Keziah was hoping to sand and repaint some areas of the house where the paint is chipped. Unfortunately, there was a bit more rot than anticipated. The happy part of this is the tiny bit of history. According to the side of the house, it was built in 1745. Some old nails have been pulled out! There is a door that was used as a wall too.

- The sunset and the crescent moon that followed were both lovely.

Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.
