Storm has passed

The sky has texture - I can see individual clouds and bits of blue sky.  It is still very windy, but no rain is falling for the first time since noon Saturday.  About 9" fell here in three days. The sun appeared briefly, but now there is light rain.

The feeder is back up, but unvisited.  One wretched-looking female cardinal poked around in the mulch.  It's still breezy and cold and damp.  Some of the limbs that blew out of the oak have jelly fungus.  The weeping conks on the stump look moldy.  There's no activity at the yellow jacket nest and no bees on the rosemary.  Flowers drooped to shed rain and are still head down.  Dreary aftermath.  One plank is missing from the dock, not bad all things considered.
