Will it rain?

Weather Channel says no, sky looks like yes. Hummers are still at it - "share" is not in their genes. A dove landed on the seed feeder but couldn't figure it out. A blue jay scavenged fallen seeds while the usual suspects ate overhead. The hibiscus seems to be finished blooming.

I no sooner wrote this than the sun came out. The sky overhead is still gray but there is a break in the East. Last night I noticed the moon is at first quarter. It was quite bright. Good grief, now I smell smoke again.

The sky has condensed into cream puffs that are blowing off to the northeast. The blue in between looks muted, maybe by smoke, though I no longer smell it. And there is a breeze at ground level. Where the oak no longer shades it, the dogwood is pushing new branches out from cracks in its bark.

Late afternoon. A little green heron staked out the neighbor's unused dock which is barely above water. Unfortunately it was silhouetted by the sun. Meanwhile an egret circled overhead. I also saw a female Eastern pondhawk dragonfly in the marsh grass, but couldn't get a good angle on it.

I fished a drowned cicada out of the pool, but no frogs today.
