To: Alas Babylon!

I also like to go out at night and watch the stars.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I do this, too! Don’t know much about what I’m looking at, but we’re away from the city and get a pretty ‘dark’ sky, so viewing is good. My goal is to put a bench/seat out at the garden for more comfortable viewing & I want to add a small fire pit for cooler weather, too.

The birds singing around here has been incredible. Our place has lots of good habitat & food so it’s just loaded with birds of all kinds. I even had a Red-headed woodpecker coming every day to the feeders - I can’t tell you the last time I saw a red-headed woodpecker until this year.

Picked my first tomatoes yesterday - we got a late start when cold weather got the first ones I planted. I have bell peppers & jalapenos doing well. This year, I’ve focused more on flowers than garden produce - I grow the veggies for my folks & they can only eat so much. The neighbors will be getting some tomatoes, peppers & sunflowers this afternoon.
