I wake up to bird songs every day. It changes throughout the year but it's a constant out here. Primarily wild song birds, but the roosters all around add their voices too. And at times the knocking of the woodpeckers adds a bit of percussion. This morning is no different.
I've never really learned to identify the birds by their song but in addition to the roosters calling out to each other, there is one bird singing lead with at least 4 different background performers. It's a nice way to start the day.
Photo: No, not a bird. Try as I might I could never get a decent bird photo. However, this wasp was more than happy to pose for a picture. They both have wings. Does that count?
Even later in the morning I can still hear the birds despite the distant sound of civilization that creeps in. I'm many miles from the nearest railroad tracks but on some days I can hear the trains. And of course there are planes (usually very, very high in the sky), occasional helicopters, tractors (I'm out in the country after all), and trucks pulling trailers — which are especially loud when bouncing down our dirt roads.
While working in the greenhouse I realized that I really don't have space to plant everything that's already sprouted. Tomatoes and squash take up a lot of space and that's what I have in abundance. I decided I was just going to have to put three of my new, under development beds into use a season earlier than I'd planned. So, it was out to the garden to dig, dig, dig. I'm working the dirt in these beds. With the addition of some compost, I should have some decent soil ready for planting shortly.
In addition to lots of digging I spent an inordinate amount of time getting some garden buckets unstuck. If you've ever stacked a bunch of same size buckets and left them for awhile, you know how hard it can be to get them separated. That was more strenuous than all the digging.
Photo: My shovels got quite a work out today, along with my arms, legs, and hands.

Sounds like a busy day! I know exactly what you mean with the sounds of the country. The birds, when we first moved here, would wake us at 4 AM! What are they thinking making all that racket, lol? I've grown accustomed to it now, so it doesn't disturb my slumber. The trains at night especially, sometimes sound as if they've rerouted the train tracks on our property! Crazy!
I may end up having the same problem with my greenhouse veggies. We shall see. Nice job with your 9458 @actifit steps for the day. Take care and happy gardening!
My next thing to worry about is whether all these plants actually produce anything. I'm always nervous about that. But I guess with the number of plants the odds are in my favor to get something out of 'em. LOL
I hear ya! I've not done any gardening in quite a few years and did a little celebratory dance when I saw that the brussels sprouts had actually germinated and had grown 2"! Yippee! Take care and enjoy your gardening adventures!
