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.

I took a picture of a picture so that would remember to look up the photographer.
P.J.’s Lucky Strike, Elko, Nevada, 1995 My photo is subpar. BUT, it let me find this: http://www.jeffbrouws.com/series/main.html
I’m a fan and might need a book.

I got whipped cream in a can to put on a pumpkin pie I made last week. (It was a test run before Thanksgiving.) We ate all the pie and there was still whipped cream left over. We don’t generally keep milk or cream around. So, my chai is usually all spice / no umami.
Not today!

On Thursday, we wandered around LeBaur Park in Greensboro to find this sculpture. It’s a 3d visualization of a photograph of a group of women right before they were murdered during the Liepāja massacre of December 15, 1941, a series of mass executions committed by the Nazis after the German occupation of Latvia. It was installed in April of this year.
It’s in a small garden tucked away near the library, not as close to the road as Google Maps indicated. There are roses all around it, still blooming. And a couple of bouquets had been left by other visitors.
