Hi Friends!
The smoke is worse today. My asthma is liking it big time ๐ซค I was so hoping that it was gonna be better today. Another weekends not able to work on the yards ๐ตโ๐ซ Always either rain and/or smoke ๐ฌ Just last week when I checked wildfires app, it was just around 150ish, however last night, already at 322 recorded ones, and close to 60% of them are out of control. Crazy.
So my husband and I got 4 birdhouse and we nailed them to the 4 trees we chopped off a month ago. Now I feel like it was a bad decision. My fur babies go nuts chasing birds ๐ฌ They caught 2 small house Sparrows so far. Imma have to put up barriers of some sorts among those trees ๐ฌ Not just for the birds sake but also for my flowering clematis that I planted under one of the trees ๐ฌ As of this morning, 3 flowers fell off of the plants. Most likely since when birds around, the chasing game would end up with my fur babies bumping the flimsy trellis ๐ ๐ฌ๐ ๐ฌ
