turpsIt's been raining constantly since I woke up, heavy rain too. So it's been the perfect weather for some tv watching, meaning I'm all caught up on Legends of Tomorrow. I don't know if many other people actually watch, but that last episode was great. Weird but great, which pretty much sums up the Legends. Next up, Supergirl I think.
I filled all the bird feeders with seed a few days ago, and one of the crows must have been trying to feed on one of them as seed is all over the garden path. Between the places to shelter and the seed the garden has been little bird heaven this afternoon, everywhere I looked there were sparrows and blue tits. Very bedraggled looking ones, too, their feathers all damp and fluffed up.
I read an excellent winterhawk crossed with Queer Eye where Bucky was the hero getting a makeover. The voices of the Fab Five were perfect and I was sad when it was over. From Soldier to Slayer.
A lot of new winterhawk stuff has been posted due to the reverse bang, but man, I wish more people would post full stories. I know I'm being all 'shake my stick and get off my lawn fandom old' but I much prefer to get stories all in one go, especially if they're actually complete.
I was in the greenhouse picking tomatoes earlier, and there's something incredibly soothing being in a greenhouse in the rain. It's a shame we haven't got room for a big greenhouse as I'd love to have a comfy chair in there so I could read with the rain pelting down overhead. Sadly I can barely get myself through the plants so a chair is nothing but a dream.

Date: 2019-08-16 03:57 am (UTC)See me blinking in puzzlement at the idea of filling "the bird feeders a few days ago". I put out about 1-1/2 gallons of seed, twice a day!!! Granted, some of that gets eaten by my neighbor's chickens, and I'm working on a way to let the little birds in and keep the chickens out. But even before the chickens, it was 2 gallons a day, about 12-1/2 lbs.
And to hell with bird feeders; I couldn't keep up. I just dump it in the middle of my drive, and the birds have enough of a clear area around them that they have a chance of escaping the feral cats.
After all these years, it still amazes me, the glimpses of the different lives we all lead.

Differences aside, I love that you do put down so much so the birds do get fed.
