I'm late posting, but I've got a story! Nothing much was going on this morning, just the usual three. At lunch a lovely widow skimmer took up a post near the parsley. Other dragonflies zoomed and glittered. Cabbage butterflies were also around.
I went for a swim mid afternoon and heard the wren scolding. It was atop the post and buzzing like mad. Then I saw why. A fox cub had come calling. It studied the bird and I thought I was going to get to see a fox climb a post, but the wren flew off. Then the cub nosed the mulch while I maintained a low profile in the pool. It caught something and I distinctly heard crunching. I think it might have been a skink or possibly a mouse. I sucked my teeth to get it to look up. It was totally unwary, but then I think its mama called because it looked over toward the next yard and ran home.
