Gray with drizzle and much cooler. Cardinals are hungry. A dove and a chickadee showed up. Morning glories are blooming for all they're worth. But the rain has them drooping.
Some stretches of heavier rain and some periods with just wind, but altogether a raw day. The wet grass feels colder to my bare feet than the pool water did two days ago. Finches and titmice have also been visiting. The white-spot squirrel came past with what looked like a ball of white wool in its mouth, which it was hunting a location to bury. I wonder if it was a cocoon?
There are some small black swallowtail caterpillars on the parsley which has bolted. I wonder if they have time to make it to pupate? A spider thread is holding aloft a morning glory vine. Other arrowhead spiders are hanging out under the eaves making cobwebs. The basilica webs are still in the azalea, but I don't see the spiders.
Dusk crept up instead of blazing in as it has been for the last couple of days.
