The pool cover is wet but nothing else so I suppose there was a heavy dew. The sky is cloudless. Cardinals, finches, and chickadees were joined on the feeder by a male and a female nuthatch and a Carolina wren. White throated sparrows are exploring the new mulch.
After lunch, I startled a blue tailed skink that was sunning on the retaining wall. A tiger swallowtail, a small orange butterfly, and a cabbage butterfly passed by. Some of the dogwood petals do excellent imitations of fluttering white butterflies. Wasps, flies, and bees are busy pollinating. Yellow jacket queens are looking for nest sites. As predicted, a white haze moved in from the West after 5pm. The sun is still strong though. Today has not been nearly so windy though there has been a breeze most of the time.
