Rain returns

It looks like summer is over. With the rain and overcast sky, the water temperature is dropping. During a break in the rain a mockingbird worked on the dogwood berries. I think the squirrels eat them too.

By mid-day it cleared somewhat. The spider is still guarding the porch. My lantana is still blooming. The plant is now about ten years old, pretty good for an "annual." Each spring I wonder if it has frozen or if it will come back, but so far it always has. Of course it is on the South side of a wall in the sun.

The sky has continued to brighten while I was inside at the computer.
