Still alive
When I moved from LJ to Dreamwidth, I figured I'd make an effort to post more often. Looks like I kind of failed at that. Not that much of note has been going on recently. Very little seems to change in my life.
I planted impatiens in the flower boxes on the patio again this year. They're growing well, though they don't seem to be blooming as much as the ones I've had in the past. I wonder if that's due to the weather. They might not be happy with all the clouds and rain we've been getting. The rain doesn't hit them where they are, but I've hardly needed to water them at all. Hopefully, they'll decide to flower more enthusiastically over the summer.
The World's Most Impressive Mocking Bird hasn't returned this year. With the road being built by the complex, a ton of trees are gone. Maybe he found a new home. There are plenty of sparrows and robins still around and chatting away, but I kind of miss the mocking bird being out there going through his rather large rerpetoire.
I did 'discover' a new bird a couple weeks ago. Now and then I'd hear a particular call that sounded like a Morse Code letter V. That intrigued me, so I searched online and learned there's such a bird as a song sparrow. I knew there were different kinds of sparrows, but I just assumed they all just chirped. I never knew that there were some who had a bunch of different songs. I dunno if they're common around here. All I've ever seen are the typical tough little brown Engilsh sparrows.
