Maybe rain?

The sun came in sideways at first but now it has gone dark and windy. The paulownia tree never really bloomed much - just a few lower branches. I conclude that the winter froze all the buds I can see higher on the tree. Bulb blossoms were also sparse this year, likewise the back yard azaleas. The front yard azaleas were fine, maybe because the house protected them on the North.

And the rains came with very gusty winds and heavy downpour. Chickadees and titmice visit the feeder between rain bands.

It's beginning to clear, and in an azalea under the front yard oak, Kathleen found a blinded sphinx moth, Paonias excaecatus. Very lethargic, maybe from the cold rain? It could be freshly emerged, but one spot on the right upper wing is rubbed.
