The sky is blue and white, like faded jeans, from high, thin clouds. The male house finch likes the hummer feeder. I don't know if it is drinking from the center well or catching bugs in the water. It looks like it is piloting a flying saucer. Sparrows and Carolina wrens have been scurrying around. A female cardinal is sharing the seed feeder with a male house finch.
A mockingbird was hanging out in the front yard when we got home. When K went out front to get the garbage cans, a pair of brown thrashers fled to the back yard. A robin tried to get a drink from the swimming pool cover. A white throat was snapping up bugs from the rosemary flowers. Pecan and hackberry are beginning to bud.
As the sun descended, menacing clouds swallowed it. I thought we were in for a storm. But on my way back three hours later, I saw the bright first quarter moon in the midst of a swirl of clouds.
