Squirrel surprise

I thought they didn't like sweets! Well, now I know why the level of liquid went down so fast.

It's another chilly day - it's been chilly all week, on top of the wind. Actually, I guess it is seasonable, but it was so warm before that the contrast bites. There is soft cloud cover and sunshine.

A flock of sparrows came to bathe. I saw a white throat and a chipping sparrow and at least three more sparrows.

Butterflies at lunch, and the skink! The skink nearly had a close encounter with a squirrel, but it ran back to the rosemary where it seems to live. One butterfly was orange, maybe a fritillary? The other looked like a brown swallowtail with a rim of yellow, maybe a palamedes?
