While I worked, I had a little bird spend time with me.
You can see in the picture that he is essentially "laying down" on the wire relaxing. He took a short "nap" up there, and I even watched him yawn and stretch as he finished. Then he flew over to my deck bench and flitted down to my potted tomato and beds in search of lizards and bugs.
Afterwards he flew back to his spot on the wire and spent a little more time with me.
I spent about two hours pulling weeds, and had some success in improving the yard.

I ended with six piles of weeds...
...that filled a full yard bag (the other one is from my last weeding venture).
Some of the weeds were really hard to pull. This one in particular has a really deep tap root.
When it is allowed to grow bigger, it is impossible to pull and must be dug out with a shovel.
I also came across this caterpillar in the weeds.
Don't know what kind it is.
Also my seedlings continue sprouting.
My leeks, mystery seedling (found in packaged potting soil), and cilantro are all doing well...
...as are the Bibb and Romaine lettuces and carrots...
The chives are sprouting, but the green beans and rosemary are still a "no show".
That's my progress for this week. Slow and steady wins the race.
