More gray

It looks like a repeat of yesterday.  Finches and chickadees were up before me. A hard rain began around 8am and only lasted about 20 minutes.

The day continued gloomy with spatters of rain.  Lantana and gardenia are blooming, as is the magnolia.  The gladiolas are a bright spot though something snapped a second flower spike.   The lavender is attracting pollinators.

Tufted titmice, chickadees, and cardinals came to the feeder while we were having lunch. In the afternoon a cabbage butterfly visited ever lavender floweret. 

The sun peeked through cumulus mountains in the late afternoon and rain started not long after.  The evening was very wet.
