Cardinals and finches with squirrels on the ground. Geese are feeding down by the creek. The sky is gray and there was light fog over the creek earlier. I neglect to mention crows, but I see them every day. Mid-morning, the overcast is breaking up and there are moments of sun. I think the red goo I decided was a slime mold four days ago is now turning into orange balls.
At lunch the bluebird returned. Lots of bird song, and the hammering of a woodpecker. The clouds have moved off West - I think thanks are due to Tropical Storm Alberto sitting off the Outer Banks. Nevertheless, a tropical storm off the Carolinas in May is more evidence of climate change than I want to see.
Mid afternoon brought thunder and a downpour. I have been thinking that all the white clover I've seen this year is a sign the honeybees are recovering. Mary Reid Barrow describes planting clover between strawberry rows.
