Day lilies are blooming

Heavy overnight rain swelled the buds.  The gladiola is also budding.  A dove sat on the feeder again.  Cardinals and finches showed up and I hear the wrens.  Everything is very wet and a gust of wind made the trees rain.  The clouds are streaming off to the Northeast. Periods of sun are alternating with overcast.

The wrens are struggling to stuff grass and twigs into the birdhouse.  An osprey circled.  A Halloween pennant dragonfly nestled in the rosemary.
