Calm and sunny, then windy, then cloudy

A white throat was busy kicking mulch with a little two-step backward scrape. Then a squirrel arrived and the bird left in annoyance. AARP had an interesting bit on a site that tracks seasonal changes: http://www.usanpn.org/

After a quiet dawn, it has become quite windy. The caterpillar is still there and I still can't get it in focus. Cumulus puffs are sailing East. I saw a couple of yellow butterflies that turned out to be maple seeds on the wind. The blue eyed grass is blooming. I can hear a jay and a cardinal but cannot see them. A pair of geese were canoodling in the back yard near the water. Nothing much to see from the dock but a laughing gull.

However, a dark cloud is moving in now toward evening. And sunset was very dramatic with heavy clouds.
