And we are never moving that bench again. This is its forever home.

Yesterday evening, I drained the water garden and moved it back about 2/3 of its former footprint. Then, I reloaded and refilled it.

This afternoon, I moved the amaryllis bulbs that were getting crowded by the butterfly bush to the newly opened spot in front of the water garden. Then, Chuck and I moved the bench from the ring bed to the patio.

The amaryllis will have finished blooming before the monarda get busy in the summertime.

We put sunflower chips in the Squirrel Buster feeder because they make less mess than safflower seeds and they don’t sprout.

I picked up a 20 lb bag at Efland Farm and Garden on Monday. I’m curious to see how long it lasts. Our avian buddies have been having a festival.
