A long roll of thunder woke me at 5:30. The rain has fluctuated but came down in sheets at breakfast. A song sparrow and a junco ventured out briefly and a rabbit dashed past. By noon the storm was retreating South. The feeder is nearly empty and damp, but a chickadee did visit. A crow called and I could hear a lot of other birds, maybe a titmouse and I'm not sure what else. A little grayish bird perched on a piling and darted off to catch bugs, very like a dragonfly. A returning swallow?
Henbit and dead nettle are creating purple patches and daffodils are out everywhere. I saw the first violet. It is still quite warm.
