Lovely cream puffs at dawn have now dissipated.Meanwhile two squirrels came to forage. One decided to investigate the source of the seeds. He climbed the pole, prowled all over the feeder, and even checked out the hanger. But to no avail - human ingenuity prevailed.
Lots of butterflies are out. A black swallowtail is laying eggs on the rue. Several queen yellow-jackets are house hunting in the mulch below the pool. Other wasps of all sizes have joined the bees.
After 3pm it clouded up and rained lightly. Now the sun is back and the birdbath is dry. The hummingbird feeder developed mildew which I believe I've eradicated with bleach. I hope it doesn't offend or poison hummers when they arrive.
