Back to sunshine

Rainfall for the year is down one third, so despite a preference for sun, I am grateful for yesterday's rain. A jay was scolding a crow on what remains of the cherry tree. The male house finch was on the feeder. The gardenia is in bloom.

I spoke too soon - clouds are rolling in. Two crows on the rim of the pool were joined by one that had been down inside. 15 goslings and four adult geese are debugging the grass. The goslings are not all the same size and some have the white tails of adults. I think it must be a goose playgroup.

While the clouds looked serious, nothing precipitated. Fireflies came out in the dusk. I thought I saw one a couple of days ago, but there were lots tonight.
